In Vietnam, the number of TB patients dropped by 31 percent between 2007-2017.

The figure fell more rapidly in recent years, especially after the PrimeMinister issued the National Strategy for TB Prevention and Control by 2020with a vision towards 2030.

The resolution adopted at the sixth plenum of the 12th Party CentralCommittee also sets the target of basically putting an end to TB in Vietnam by2030.
