PM Modi hails India’s TB fight; Incidence rate drop is nearly double global average

New Delhi, Nov 13 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday lauded India’s significant progress in the fight against Tuberculosis (TB), noting that the country has achieved one of the steepest declines in TB incidence globally—a rate nearly double the world average.
The Prime Minister’s remarks followed the release of the latest World Health Organization (WHO) Global Tuberculosis Report 2025, which provided global validation for the effectiveness of India’s intensified, technology-driven elimination strategy.
“India’s fight against TB is achieving remarkable momentum. The latest WHO Global tuberculosis report 2025 highlights that India has recorded a commendable reduction in TB incidence since 2015 and it is nearly twice the global rate of decline. This is one of the sharpest drops seen anywhere in the world,” Prime Minister Modi stated in a post on X.
