Ufahamu wa Msingi

Nigeria achieved a 63% drop in TB mortality from 2015-2024 and 94% treatment success, per FCTA's Dr. Dan Gadzama at World TB Day 2026 outreach. Highlights include 467,000 cases detected in 2025 nationally and FCT records of 40,171 screened. Despite high global burden (10.7M cases, 1.23M deaths in 2024), advances in detection and WHO-backed tools drive progress.
