The WHO Global Tuberculosis Report 2023 provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the TB epidemic, and of progress in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease, at global, regional and country levels. This is done in the context of global TB commitments, strategies and targets.

The 2023 edition of the report is based primarily on data gathered by WHO from national ministries of health in annual rounds of data collection. In 2023, 192 countries and areas (out of 215) with more than 99% of the world’s population and TB cases reported data.

Please note that direct comparisons between estimates of TB disease burden in the latest report and previous reports are not appropriate. The most recent time-series of estimates are published in this global TB report.
