During the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant reduction was observed in the total number of drug resistant TB patients started on treatment as compared to 2019. In 2020 and 2021, there was also a reduction of 14 and 9 percent respectively in the number multiple drug resistant TB patients put on treatment

India recorded a total of 19,33,381 new and relapsed tuberculosis patients in 2021 marking a rise of 19 percent over the previous year, said the annual TB report released by health minister Mansukh Mandaviya on March 24.

The report launched on World TB Day also said that 4.93 lakh deaths, excluding HIV patients, due to the infectious disease were estimated for the country in 2020, which was 13 percent higher than the previous year.

India reports the highest number of TB cases globally, comprising over 26 percent of total cases and 34 percent of the deaths due to the bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs.

The country has set a target of eliminating the highly contagious disease by 2025 but it looks like an uphill task going by the numbers being reported currently.

Meanwhile the latest report has noted that there was a brief decline in TB notifications around the months corresponding to India’s two major COVID-19 waves but the numbers were later reclaimed by the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP).
