Cure rate's nearly 100%.

With selective intensification, cure rates began toincrease steadily.

The cure rate is at present 83 per cent (target 90 per cent).

It's a dangerous disease,but the cure rate is very high for those with mild cases.

In a clinical trial in Nigeria, bush tea (Lippia multiflora) essential oil showed similarly high cure rates.

The DOTS strategy produces cure rates of up to 95 per cent even in the poorest countries.

Looking at the five-year survival rates for children with ALL from the 1970’s through the 1990’s, one sees an almost linearimprovement in cure rates.

Functioning in 11 of Somalia's 18 regions, TB treatment programmes have achieved 56 per cent, directly observed short-course treatment strategy (DOTS) coverage and cure rates over 88 per cent.

In 1994, the government of Cambodia strengthened the National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTP), in cooperation with WHO, with the result that the cure rate improved to a certain degree.

Another major development is the forming of a National Association of Patients against Tuberculosis (ASPACONT) in the Departments of Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, and La Paz, including El Alto, which has empowered patients to combat this disease and managed to achieve peer support to improve cure rates.
