Tuberculosis Is the World’s Deadliest Disease

Every year, a million people die of a curable disease. Why haven’t you heard about it? Last year, tuberculosis killed more people than malaria, war, and murder combined. More people than COVID-19 or HIV/AIDS. One-quarter of all people alive today currently have tuberculosis, and every twenty seconds, someone dies from it.
