Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global public health challenge, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of the current landscape and the progress made towards the ambitious goal of elimination in 2025 in India. Despite significant strides in TB control, the disease continues to afflict millions worldwide, with diverse challenges complicating the path to eradication. This abstract encapsulates an in-depth exploration of the multifaceted dimensions surrounding TB in 2023. It delves into the epidemiological aspects, emphasizing the geographical disparities in TB prevalence, exploring the impact of social determinants on disease transmission, and scrutinizing vulnerable populations that remain disproportionately affected. The analysis incorporates a global perspective, considering regional variations in TB burden and the unique challenges faced by low- and middle-income countries in their pursuit of elimination. In assessing progress towards elimination goals, this abstract scrutinizes the efficacy of existing diagnostic tools, treatment modalities, and preventive strategies. Advances in technology, such as molecular diagnostics and artificial intelligence applications, are examined for their potential to revolutionize TB detection and management. The abstract also evaluates the accessibility of essential TB medications, the emergence of drug-resistant strains, and the effectiveness of ongoing vaccination campaigns, casting a critical eye on the factors influencing the success or failure of elimination initiatives. The abstract highlights collaborative efforts between governments, non-governmental organizations, and international bodies, emphasizing the importance of a unified approach in the global fight against TB. It explores the role of research and innovation in shaping policies, with an emphasis on fostering international partnerships for resource-sharing and capacity-building. In conclusion, this abstract provides a comprehensive snapshot of the TB landscape in 2023, offering insights into the challenges hindering elimination and the promising strategies driving progress. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and healthcare professionals engaged in the ongoing battle against tuberculosis, urging a collective commitment to achieving the ambitious goal of global TB elimination.
