Finding the missing millions
One in three people with TB are “missing,” meaning they are either undiagnosed or unreported. That is 3.6 million people whose quality of care — if they received care at all — is simply unknown. In September 2018, heads of state committed to finding and treating all people with TB, including these missing millions, with a goal of diagnosing and treating 40 million people with TB from 2018 to 2022. To find the missing millions with TB, governments, civil society, affected communities, and the private sector must work together with global donors to take 6 actions prescribed by ACTION — as shown in our new TB accountability tool.
