Updated: Aug 5

China's Tuberculosis Control: A Global Leader in Innovation

China has emerged as a pioneer in tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment, achieving a 90%+ cure rate for drug-sensitive TB and developing breakthrough technologies like:

  • AI-assisted sputum analysis (reducing diagnosis time to 2 hours)

  • Bedaquiline-based regimens for MDR-TB (success rates exceeding WHO targets)

  • 5G-enabled DOTs (Directly Observed Therapy) for rural areas

While ranking 2nd globally in TB research output, China still faces challenges in latent TB management and rural-urban disparities.
