This comes as political leaders gather in New York for the first-ever United Nations High-level meeting on TB.
In the latest 2018 Global TB report released on Tuesday, WHO says that 1.6 million deaths were recorded in 2017, out of which 300,000 were HIV-positive people.
Globally, an estimated 10 million people developed TB in 2017; 5.8 million men, 3.2 million women and one million children.
