Tuberculosis-related fatalities in India have seen a notable decrease of 38% since 2015. Despite this progress, the nation continues to bear the burden of approximately a quarter of all global TB cases.
A significant challenge in combating TB is the frequent absence of visible symptoms, leading to many infections going undetected. To address this, early screening initiatives, the use of AI-assisted chest X-rays, and rapid molecular testing are being employed to identify potential TB cases more effectively.
