The incidence of tuberculosis in Ghana is forecasted to decline steadily from 126.0 cases per 100,000 persons in 2024 to 112.0 cases per 100,000 persons by 2028. Comparing the forecasted value for 2024 to the actual figure for 2023 shows a declining trend that appears to continue into subsequent years. Year-on-year percentage variations indicate a decreasing trend, with significant drops observed annually. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecast period suggests an average decrease of about 3% per year.
Future trends to watch for include potential variations in the decline due to public health interventions, vaccination programs, socioeconomic factors, or emerging resistance to current treatments. Close monitoring of these factors is crucial for sustaining and improving the downtrend in TB incidence.
