Data Sources
Data presented here are an extract of data available for download from the WHO website. The ‘estimated rate per
100,000 population’ and the ‘number of cases’ have been rounded to the nearest whole number. Only 'best estimate'
figures of incidence are included here. Uncertainty bounds for these estimates are included in data downloadable from
the WHO website and should be referred to if further interpretation of the figures is required. Details of the methods
used for the estimation of incidence can be found in the WHO report 'Global tuberculosis control 2018', available at:
