WHO: How COVID-19 pandemic has affected TB detection and mortality

Wed, 2021-03-24 20:07 — mike kraft

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on TB detection and mortality in 2020

Provisional data compiled by the World Health Organization (WHO) from 84 countries indicates that an estimated 1.4 million fewer people received care for tuberculosis (TB) in 2020 than in 2019 - a reduction of 21% from 2019.

In the group of 10 high-burden countries with the largest reported shortfalls compared with 2019, the overall shortfall was 28%. With many people with TB unable to access care, WHO estimates that half a million more people may have died from TB in 2020 alone. TB remains one of the world’s top infectious killers.
