The world is making progress against tuberculosis – but we still have a long way to go.   The World Health Organization’s Global Tuberculosis Report 2025 shows that, despite a reduction in the number of deaths from TB in 2024, 1.2 million people still died from an illness that is both preventable and treatable.   Access to treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is improving. More than 34,000 people with DR-TB started treatment in 2024 with newer, more effective six-month regimens. Treatment success rates for DR-TB are now above 70%, compared to 50% in 2012.   The report also notes the urgent need for new TB vaccines. With six candidate vaccines in phase III trials, the world is edging closer to a new tool that could significantly reduce the burden of TB for people, communities and countries. MedAccess is pleased to be part of the Finance and Access Working Group, a subsidiary of the WHO TB Accelerator Council, which is focused on ensuring future TB vaccines reach the people who need them as quickly as possible. 🔗 Full report here: https://lnkd.in/eajhi9Xi
