Tuberculosis, the leading cause of death from a curable infectious disease, is a major threat to human health globally. WHO estimated that 10· 6 million new cases of tuberculosis and 1· 6 million tuberculosis-associated deaths occurred in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted health systems and exposed prevailing deficiencies in tuberculosis-control programmes globally, reversing the hard-won reduction of global tuberculosis incidence observed until 2020. Nevertheless, the past decade has celebrated several major scientific breakthroughs that could advance the achievement of a tuberculosis-free world.Mathematical models suggest that to achieve a substantial reduction in tuberculosis incidence and mortality, widescale implementation of multiple strategies is required. These strategies include effective tuberculosis prevention to reduce latent infection; augmented case-finding and improved linkage to tuberculosis care to shorten the period of infectiousness; and context-specific infection control measures that consider population mobility, trust in health-care providers and health institutions, force of tuberculosis transmission, and prevalence of HIV.
