Assam’s TB cases surge in last 4 years with increased testing
Assam is intensifying TB testing to 3,000-4,000 tests per lakh population, with the aim of eradicating the disease. Diagnosed cases rose from 2022 to 2025, which officials say signals improved detection and not a setback. The state leverages its robust infrastructure and community networks, including Nikshay Mitras, to power this essential health campaign.
