World Health Organization
According to the World Health Organization, in 2021, eight countries accounted for more than two-thirds of global TB Cases. Of these eight countries, Pakistan contributed 5.8% of the global cases (who.int/pak). Pakistan is struggling to bring an end to the TB epidemic and hopes to do so by 2035 creating a TB-free Pakistan with zero deaths caused by TB.
People in Pakistan
