What is Tuberculosis (TB)?
TB is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which primarily affects the lungs but can also impact other organs. It spreads through airborne particles when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks.

TB in Numbers:
TB kills over 1.5 million people annually, making it one of the leading causes of infectious disease deaths.
Over 10 million people fall ill with TB each year.
India has the highest TB burden, accounting for nearly one-fourth of global cases.
WHO aims to end TB by 2030 under the End TB Strategy.
