WHO estimates that eight million people are infected with TB every year, out of those 95% live in developing countries. An estimated 3 million people die due to TB every year. TB has been prevalent in Pakistan and unfortunately it has been one of the neglected health areas in the past. Pakistan ranks 6th amongst the countries with a highest burden of TB in the world. Pakistan contributes about 44% of tuberculosis burden in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. According to WHO, the incidence of sputum positive TB cases in Pakistan is 80/100,000 per year and for all types it is 177/100,000.
