Haryana achieves 104% of its TB notification target

The state notified 54,368 tuberculosis cases from January to July 2026 against a target of 52,500.

Haryana reported that it had exceeded the national tuberculosis notification target for the January–July 2026 period. Against a target of 52,500 cases, the state notified 54,368 cases, achieving 104 percent. Public-sector notification reached 101 percent of its target, while the private sector reached 105 percent. A high notification rate means more cases are being identified and brought into the treatment and surveillance system; it does not mean that TB incidence itself has increased by the same percentage. For HSSC, memorise the period, target, actual notifications and the public-private achievement figures. The development is linked with India’s broader tuberculosis elimination efforts and shows the importance of both government and private healthcare providers in case detection.
