In 2023, the UK recorded 6.72 thousand notified tuberculosis cases. The forecast indicates a gradual decrease in cases, with 6.65 thousand in 2024 and continuing to decline to 6.36 thousand by 2028. The year-on-year decrease shows stability, with a decline rate of approximately 1% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 suggests a gradual reduction in tuberculosis case notifications.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of public health interventions and awareness campaigns on tuberculosis prevention.
- Potential influence of socio-economic factors and healthcare access on infection rates.
- Emerging research and developments in tuberculosis treatment options.
