What the number means
Estimated new and relapsed tuberculosis cases per 100,000 population.
Incidence concerns new and relapsed cases, not deaths or the number of people currently living with disease. The estimate is one infectious-disease signal, with uncertainty; it is not a general measure of national health.
WHO estimate; includes uncertainty. One measure of infectious disease, not overall disease burden.
A better question to ask
For a public-health project, separate detection, access to care, completion of treatment, and verified outcomes.
This is a prompt for investigation, not evidence that a particular policy works. A trend alone cannot establish a cause.
