Answer: Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease severely affects the lungs, and TB bacteria can also spread to other parts of the body.  The bacteria is airborne and can spread from an infected person to a noninfected person through cough, sneezing, or can transmit through respiratory fluids through the air. 

According to WHO, 1.5 million people lost their lives battling TB in 2020, even when it’s a preventable and curable disease. India reported more than 2.4 million cases of TB in 2019, and the numbers continue to grow significantly. India’s National TB Elimination Programme was revived and strategized again to meet the goal of eliminating TB from the country by 2025.
