The National Leprosy and Tuberculosis Control Programme (NLTP) in The Gambia reported a decline in TB incidence but an increase in TB mortality, primarily driven by HIV co-infection. In 2022, NLTP notified 2,576 TB cases with an 84% treatment success rate, while facing challenges in childhood TB detection and resource limitations. The program aims for a TB-free Gambia by 2030, emphasizing the need for political will, collaboration, and investment in research.
