Report overview and official provenance
WHO’s Global Tuberculosis Report assesses the TB epidemic and progress in prevention, diagnosis and treatment at global, regional and country levels. The 2025 report was published on 12 November 2025 and is based primarily on annual data collection from national ministries of health.
The publisher is World Health Organization. This article covers the 2025 edition and links to the official publication information below. PHC-Nepal’s summary is independent; listing a report is not an institutional endorsement.
What this report can and cannot tell you
Notifications are cases recorded by health systems; estimated incidence represents the wider burden, including disease not detected or reported. These measures must not be presented as interchangeable. Revised methods can change historical estimates without implying that the epidemic changed retrospectively.
Reference period: Annual country reporting; indicator-specific years. Keep this period separate from the release label, 12 November 2025. This article verifies report scope and publication information; it does not claim an exhaustive review of every table.
Applying the evidence in Nepal
Use the latest time series within this edition for trend analysis and the relevant Nepal country tables for Nepal claims. Retain uncertainty intervals and the observation year. This guide does not reproduce an unverified Nepal incidence or mortality estimate.
Begin with a defined planning or research question. Record the population, geographic level, unit, source table and uncertainty for every selected figure. Separate descriptive evidence from causal claims and avoid presenting aggregate estimates as individual clinical advice.
