To mark the occasion, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe, releases the latest tuberculosis surveillance data. While there is encouraging progress, the reality is that challenges, such as multidrug-resistant TB and underdiagnosis, continue to demand urgent attention.
