1、 Background of Introduction

Tuberculosis is a major infectious disease that seriously endangers people's health. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have always attached great importance to the prevention and control of tuberculosis. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly issued important instructions and directives on the prevention and control of major infectious diseases, emphasizing the need to implement targeted measures for traditional epidemics such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and hepatitis B, to consolidate current prevention and control achievements, and continuously reduce the level of epidemic prevention and control. All regions and departments resolutely implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, adhere to putting people's health at the center, and achieve significant overall work results. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the national tuberculosis epidemic has shown a steady downward trend. The decline rate of tuberculosis incidence rate is twice the global average. The successful treatment rate has remained above 90%, and the mortality rate has remained at a low level, which has effectively protected the people's health and effectively maintained the healthy economic and social development.

In order to implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the National Disease Control Bureau, together with the National Health Commission, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Finance, the National Health Insurance Bureau, the State Food and Drug Administration and other relevant departments, drafted the National Plan for tuberculosis Prevention and Control (2024-2030) (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") on the basis of comprehensively combing the basis of work, in-depth investigation and research, and widely listening to the views of all parties, which was issued and implemented with the consent of the State Council. The introduction of the Plan is of great significance to comprehensively strengthen the prevention and control of tuberculosis, promote the construction of a healthy China, and protect the health of the people.
