TB Alliance Annual Report 2023: From Promise to Impact
2023 was really such a gratifying year because we now are seeing the beginning of an explosion of being able to actually see thousands and thousands of patients benefit from new treatments. And, when all is said and done, that's the goal.”

TB Alliance Annual Report 2023 Video
TB is one of the world’s oldest and deadliest diseases – infecting 10 million people worldwide and killing
1.3 million
people in 2022 alone.
The scope and intensity of the TB pandemic is in large part fueled by the lack of an effective, global commitment to fight TB. However, despite limited investments in TB, there has been significant progress in the battle to End TB.
TB Alliance is dedicated to improving treatment for TB, and in recent years, the team has worked diligently to also ensure that new treatments reach everyone who needs them. I’m proud to be part of an organization that is transforming the way we think about what’s possible for TB treatment and addressing challenges head on.”
David Norton,
New Chair of the TB Alliance Board of Directors
