About this ebook

One of the global targets of WHO’s End TB Strategy is that no TB patients and their households face catastrophic costs as a result of TB disease.

This book provides comprehensive documentation about 20 national surveys of costs faced by TB patients and their households that were completed between 2015 and 2021, according to WHO-recommended methods. Results include estimates of the proportion of TB patients and their households facing catastrophic costs, as well as a wealth of other data.

It is hoped that the book will serve as a key reference for ministries of health and other government agencies, and their national and international partners, as they work towards reducing costs faced by TB patients and their households.


The book was a collaborative effort of the 20 countries in which surveys were done and their technical partners, with contributions from more than 300 people.
