Who Are the Missed 3 Million
9 million became ill and 1.5 million died from tuberculosis (TB) in 2013. More than 3
million people with TB were missed and undiagnosed. These include women and children,
the poor and malnourished, refugees, migrants, miners, ethnic minorities, homeless and
substance users.
Why Are They Missed
No Access: Distance to care, poverty, stigma, limited facilities, financial barriers, conflict
No Diagnosis: undertrained staff, inaccurate tests, lack of equipment
No Documentation: weak reporting, lack of case notification
No Treatment: Drug stockouts and poor links between services
The Solutions:
1. Provide Adequate Funding for TB
2. Increase Access to Care
3. Expand Screening and Diagnosis
4. Improve information flow for quality care
Children who die of TB each day
