Globally, approximately 10.6 million people (134 per 100,000) fell ill with tuberculosis ( TB) in 2021, which is a 4.5% increase from 10.1 million (130 per 100,000) in 2020. The global burden of TB deaths is also estimated to have increased by 6.7% from 2020 to 2021, with 1.6 million (20 per 100,000) in 2021. The data was presented in the Global TB report, which included information from 215 countries and territories. The Republic of Korea ranked 106th among these countries, with an estimated TB incidence of 44 per 100,000 and was tied for the 111th rank in TB mortality, with an estimated TB mortality of 3.8 per 100,000. Among the 38 member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Republic of Korea ranked first in TB incidence and third in TB mortality, with only two countries having higher TB mortality rates. WHO established “The End TB Strategy,” which aims for an 80% reduction in TB incidence and a 90% reduction in the total number of TB deaths between 2015 and 2030. The strategy included milestones for 2020 and 2025. Therefore, to accelerate the goal of ending TB by 2030 in the Republic of Korea, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency will establish “the third National TB Management Comprehensive Plan 2023?2027.
