Understanding the Impact
The impact of funding pauses on TB-related deaths and cases is non-linear. While the immediate effects are significant, the long-term consequences over a 6-year period are even more severe due to compounding factors such as increased transmission, delayed diagnoses, and disrupted treatment programs.
- The "1-Year" column shows the human impact over the next year.
- The "2025-2030" column demonstrates how these effects compound over a 5-year period, resulting in a much larger impact on both deaths and cases.
- Note the significant increase in potential deaths and cases when comparing 1-year and 2025-2030 figures, highlighting the critical importance of sustained funding.
We use average rates to estimate impact. In reality, these effects may vary over time, potentially starting smaller and accelerating as the situation progresses.
