This is the first time in many years an increase has been reported in the number of people falling ill with TB and drug-resistant TB, it said.

Despite an increase in the budget to tackle Tuberculosis (TB), the interim estimated number of deaths due to the infectious disease in India rose by 10 per cent, from 500,000 in 2020 to 505,000 in 2021, noted the Global TB Report 2022 released by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

In fact, most of the estimated increase in TB deaths globally was accounted for by four countries: India, Indonesia, Myanmar and the Philippines. In 2021, 82 per cent of global TB deaths among HIV-negative people occurred in the WHO African and South-East Asia regions; India alone accounted for 36 per cent of such deaths, the report found.

The national TB budget has seen a 6.9 per cent increase, from US$ 544m in 2020 to US$ 582 in 2021. This includes an increase in domestic funding from 66 per cent to 81 per cent and a decrease in international funding from 34 per cent to 19 per cent.

However, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said that it had communicated to WHO that the Ministry has already initiated domestic studies to arrive at a more accurate estimate of incidence and mortality rates systematically and India's data will be provided after the conclusion of studies in early 2023.
