TB in the Philippines: A Call to Urgent Action
Janice C. Caoili, MD
Chair, PhilCAT
The WHO Global Tuberculosis Report 2022 highlights the growing health challenge posed by tuberculosis (TB) in the Philippines: In 2021, TB incidence and deaths due to TB increased, accompanied by continued reduction in TB case notification. The Philippines contributed around 10% of the estimated global reduction in TB notification from 2019 to 2021. Of the estimated 741,000 cases of new and relapse TB cases, only 43% were diagnosed and officially reported. Most TB cases remained undiagnosed and untreated, potentially infecting more people in the community.
