Tuberculosis (TB) is India’s most severe health crisis. According to the National Strategic Plan for Tuberculosis Elimination 2017–2025 report, TB kills approximately 480,000 Indians every year. That is a whopping 1,400 every single day. Not just in India, Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that over 95% of TB deaths happen in low and middle income countries. India leads the count here. This strongly points to the fact that poverty and lack of access to healthcare are the leading causes of TB deaths. Various drugs have been tested and rolled out.

According to infectious disease specialist Judy Stone’s report in Forbes, Janssen - a division of Johnson and Johnson - rolled out a drug called bedaqualine in 2012. However, the drug has only reached 1,000 people. Affordability of these drugs is a whole issue in itself.
