According to this site from the World Health Organization (WHO), the work completed on tuberculosis between the years 2000 and 2014 has saved over 43 million lives. In fact, TB mortality has been halved since the year 1990. On this site, readers will find reports on the WHO's Global Action Framework for TB Research, as well as the post-2015 strategy to end TB. The expansive Areas of Work section is also worth a visit, as it includes detailed information on Detection and diagnosis, Treatment and care, Preventive care, Drug-resistant TB, TB and HIV, TB and children, and many other important topics. In addition, the TB Data tab includes the Global tuberculosis report 2015, an excellent visualization of Tuberculosis country profiles, and other informative gems.
