What's behind this
Tamil Nadu’s statewide tuberculosis (TB) care initiative, which identifies patients who are severely ill at diagnosis—including those with very severe undernutrition, respiratory insufficiency or poor physical performance—and prioritises their referral for hospitalisation, has recorded at least a 38 percent reduction in TB deaths across quarterly diagnosis cohorts between July 2024 and December 2025. This decline is attributed to the focus on early identification of severely ill patients and ensuring they receive inpatient care.
