Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be one of the leading causes of disease and death from infectious disease in the Region of the Americas, particularly among people living with HIV. In 2024, it was estimated that around 350,000 people fell ill with TB and approximately 30,000 died from this cause in the region. Of these deaths, about 29% were associated with TB/HIV co-infection, reflecting the persistent vulnerability of people with HIV to TB and the urgent need to strengthen integrated, timely and people-centred interventions.
