How many people die from tb a year?

My brother's friend got TB, and it made me think about how prevalent it still is in our country. I'd like to understand the impact better. Could you share how many people die from TB a year?

TB is still a major health challenge, and unfortunately, mortality rates are significant, especially if treatment is delayed or incomplete. Just like with thyroid, consistent follow-ups and adhering to the doctor's prescribed regimen are absolutely crucial for managing and overcoming it. It's not something to self-treat.

I actually recovered from TB just last year. It was a long journey, but I'm so glad I got diagnosed early and finished all my meds. It's scary how many people still die from it, especially if they don't complete the treatment. Please, if you feel unwell, get tested.

TB is tough, and it highlights how important a strong immune system is. While exercise like walking is great for overall health, it's crucial to follow a doctor's advice carefully if someone has TB, as vigorous activity might not be suitable during treatment. Health first, then fitness.

TB is a serious illness, and while good nutrition is important for immunity, it can't replace proper medical treatment. For those recovering, a balanced, nourishing vegetarian diet can support the body, but always under a doctor's guidance. Please don't rely on diet alone for treatment.

This is such a sad question. I know TB is common in India, but I didn't realize it still causes so many deaths. Are there specific areas where it's worse, or is it everywhere? It feels like we need more awareness.
