China beats global average in tackling TB cases
Liu Qing, an official at the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration, delivers a speech on Saturday. The annual reduction rate of tuberculosis cases in China since 2021 has reached 3 percent, doubling the global average level, health authorities said recently. Liu Qing, an official at the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration, said at a recent conference that China's TB epidemic has been trending downward steadily and the mortality rate has remained at a relatively low level thanks to consistent financial investment and comprehensive disease control efforts. Meanwhile, China has included TB under a support mechanism in 2021 to improve reimbursement of outpatient medical expenses linked to chronic and special diseases, aiming to alleviate the financial burden on TB patients, said Liu. Official data also reveals that China has identified and treated over 8 million pulmonary TB patients since 2012, maintaining a treatment success rate above 90 percent.
