Tuberculosis surveillance and monitoring in Europe 2026 - 2024 data
Surveillance and monitoring
This report provides an overview of the latest TB epidemiological situation. It is published jointly by the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
An estimated 204 000 people fell ill with tuberculosis (TB) in 2024 in the World Health Organization European Region, equivalent to 22 cases per 100 000 population. The net reduction of TB incidence between 2015 and 2024 was 39%, which is below the WHO End TB milestone of a 50% reduction by 2025. In 2024, 38 249 cases of TB were reported in 30 European Union and European Economic Area (EU/ EEA) countries, resulting in a notification rate 8.4 per 100 000 population in the EU/ EEA.

Across the EU/ EEA, strengthening surveillance systems by improving reporting of HIV coinfection, TB in prisons, and treatment outcomes is essential to guide effective public health actions, ensure equitable service delivery, and support evidence-based decisions on achieving WHO Regional Action Plan and United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3.3 targets for 2030.
