The prevalence of all forms of tuberculosis for all ages in India was 312 per lakh population for the year 2021.
TB Alliance, a not-for-profit, is promoting a treatment protocol, BPaL, a six-month treatment for extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR).
Like during the pandemic, we must work together to improve awareness and outcomes in diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and eventual elimination of TB from the country.
