The world is progressing in the fight against tuberculosis, but the milestones that were set twelve years ago were missed on Thursday, according to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), and sometimes even further away. An estimated 10.6 million people worldwide fell ill with tuberculosis in 2025, only 0.7 percent less than in the previous year. The number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants fell by only 1.6 percent in 2025 to 129.
