The forecasted data for the total tuberculosis incidence rate in Singapore shows a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting at a rate of 49 in 2024, it slightly increases to 50 from 2025 to 2027, before inching up to 51 in 2028. This indicates a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 0.5% from 2024 to 2028, suggesting a relatively stable but slightly upward trend in the incidence rate. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is nearly 1.01%, highlighting a modest upward trend in tuberculosis cases in Singapore.
Looking ahead, it’s crucial to monitor factors that could influence these trends, including public health initiatives, changes in population density, and global health trends. The stability of the rate suggests current measures are effective, but the slight increase calls for ongoing vigilance and potential adaptation of strategies to prevent a more significant rise in tuberculosis incidence.
