[Correspondence] Sudan's tuberculosis response needs global support amid conflict

As Sudan enters its third year of war, tuberculosis continues to pose a serious threat to public health amid systemic health-care collapse.1 In 2024 alone, the Federal Ministry of Health in Sudan officially reported 14 310 new tuberculosis cases, reflecting the persistence of the disease despite widespread insecurity and disruption of services.2 Actual case numbers could be even higher, given the under-reporting in conflict and inaccessible areas. Currently, tuberculosis services are operational in 148 diagnostic and treatment centres across areas not directly affected by violence.
