According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Indonesia had the world’s highest tuberculosis (TB) incidence rate in 2016, with 333 cases per 100,000 people. In 2017, the country’s TB death rate was also the highest in the world, with 26,000 people dying from the disease.
Despite efforts to improve diagnosis and treatment, TB remains a leading cause of death in Indonesia. The majority of TB deaths occur in rural areas, where people often lack access to adequate health care. In addition, many Indonesians are unaware of the dangers of TB and do not seek treatment when they become ill.
There are a number of factors that contribute to Indonesia’s high TB death rate. One is the prevalence of HIV/AIDS, which increases the risk of developing TB. Limited access to quality health care is also a problem, as is the lack of awareness about TB and its symptoms.
There are a number of steps that can be taken to improve Indonesia’s TB death rate. These include increasing access to quality health care, raising awareness about TB, and improving diagnosis and treatment. With concerted effort, it is possible to bring down Indonesia’s TB death rate and save thousands of lives.

How many people have tuberculosis in Indonesia?
In Indonesia, tuberculosis (TB) is a public health problem. Each year, an estimated 130,000 people develop active TB, and about 26,000 people die from the disease.1
Tuberculosis is a serious, often deadly, infectious disease caused by bacteria that attack the lungs. It can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, spine, and kidneys.2
TB is spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It can also be spread through close contact with an infected person, such as sharing a room, drinking from the same glass, or touching the same object.3
People with active TB can infect 10-15 other people per year.4
Treatment for TB is lengthy and complex, and requires close cooperation between the patient and health care providers. It is essential that people with TB complete the full course of treatment to prevent them from spreading the disease.5
There is no vaccination for tuberculosis. The best way to prevent TB is to get tested if you are at risk, and to take precautions to avoid exposure to the disease.6

Is tuberculosis common in Indonesia?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious lung infection caused by bacteria. It is a common disease all over the world, but it is more common in some countries than in others.
Indonesia is one of the countries where tuberculosis is more common. In fact, Indonesia is home to one of the world’s highest tuberculosis rates. Each year, an estimated 250,000 people in Indonesia develop tuberculosis. This means that tuberculosis is a major public health problem in Indonesia.
There are several reasons why tuberculosis is so common in Indonesia. One reason is that many people in Indonesia do not have access to good health care. This makes it difficult for people to get the treatment they need if they become sick with tuberculosis.
Another reason tuberculosis is common in Indonesia is that the country is home to many people who are infected with the tuberculosis bacteria. This means that there is a high risk of people in Indonesia getting infected with tuberculosis.
There are several things that can be done to reduce the number of cases of tuberculosis in Indonesia. One important thing is to improve access to good health care. This will help people to get the treatment they need if they become sick with tuberculosis.
Another important thing is to increase awareness of tuberculosis and how it can be prevented. This will help people to know how to protect themselves from getting infected with tuberculosis.
Finally, it is important to fund research into new and better treatments for tuberculosis. This will help to reduce the number of people who die from tuberculosis each year.
How many people died from TB per year?
In the early 1900s, tuberculosis (TB) was the leading cause of death in the United States. Each year, more people died from TB than from any other disease. TB is a bacterial infection that affects the lungs. It can be spread through the air when a person with TB coughs, sneezes, or sings.
Although TB is treatable, it can be deadly if not treated properly. In the early 1900s, many people did not have access to treatment, and so they died from the disease. In the 1930s, the development of antibiotics made it possible to treat TB successfully. As a result, the number of people who died from TB began to decline.
Today, TB is much less common in the United States. However, it remains a major health problem in many parts of the world. Each year, about 1.5 million people die from TB worldwide. Most of these deaths occur in developing countries, where TB is more common and access to treatment is limited.
How many people died from tuberculosis in 2000?
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is spread through the air and can affect any part of the body, but mainly affects the lungs. Symptoms of TB include coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, and fever. If left untreated, TB can be fatal.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2000, 1.7 million people died from tuberculosis worldwide. This accounted for 2.5% of all deaths that year. The majority of these deaths (1.4 million) occurred in developing countries.
WHO TB in Indonesia?
WHO TB in Indonesia
In Indonesia, tuberculosis (TB) is a serious public health problem. Each year, about 100,000 new cases of TB are reported, and about 25,000 people die from the disease.1,2
TB is a contagious disease that affects the lungs. It is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB is spread through the air, when an infected person coughs or sneezes.3
Anyone can get TB, but some people are at higher risk, including people who have HIV/AIDS, people who smoke, and people who live in crowded, unsanitary conditions.4
TB is treatable and curable, but if it is not treated properly, it can be deadly.5
There are three main types of TB:
• pulmonary TB – the most common type, which affects the lungs
• extrapulmonary TB – which affects other parts of the body, such as the brain, the kidneys, or the spine
• latent TB – a form of the disease that is not active, but can become active later
In Indonesia, the most common type of TB is pulmonary TB.6
There are a number of ways to prevent TB, including getting vaccinated against the disease, practicing good hygiene, and seeking early treatment if you are infected.7
If you think you may have TB, or if you have been in contact with someone who has TB, please see a doctor right away.

Who end TB Strategy 2030?
Since the 1990s, tuberculosis (TB) has been identified as a public health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2016, 10.4 million people around the world contracted the disease, and 1.7 million died from it.
While significant progress has been made in the global fight against TB over the past two decades, the disease remains a leading cause of death worldwide. In October 2017, the WHO unveiled its “End TB Strategy 2030,” which seeks to eliminate TB as a global health threat.
The strategy has four main goals:
1. To end the global TB epidemic
2. To reduce TB deaths by 95%
3. To reduce the number of people who contract TB by 90%
4. To reduce the burden of TB on society
The strategy is based on three pillars:
1. Early diagnosis and treatment
2. Improved access to quality care and treatment
3. Prevention and care of people with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB)
The strategy also calls for increased investment in TB research and development, and for better coordination between national and international TB programs.
In order to achieve the goals of the strategy, the WHO has called for concerted action by governments, civil society, the private sector, and international organizations.
TB is a preventable and curable disease, but to end the global TB epidemic, we need to do more to ensure that everyone who needs treatment can get it. The End TB Strategy 2030 provides a roadmap for doing just that.
