Global tuberculosis report 2025: top findings and messages

Global Tuberculosis Report 2025

TB remains a major global public health problem, and progress in reducing the burden of disease falls far short of 2030 targets in most parts of the world. Nonetheless, after setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic, most indicators are moving in the right direction, and several regional and country success stories have emerged. However, changes in the funding landscape now threaten this progress.

Achieving the goal of ending the global TB epidemic, a commitment made by all WHO and UN Member States, requires further intensification of efforts. Following anticipated cuts in international donor funding in 2025, political commitment and increased domestic funding in high TB burden countries are now more critical than ever.
