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.
