Angola’s Tuberculosis Mortality Rate Nearly Halves
Why this is here: The decrease in tuberculosis cases coincided with a reduction in mortality, suggesting improved healthcare access is positively impacting public health outcomes in Angola.
Angola’s tuberculosis mortality rate dropped to nearly half between 2024 and 2025. The rate fell from 3.4 per 100,000 inhabitants to 1.8, according to the Ministry of Health.
The number of tuberculosis cases also decreased by 4%, moving from 90,058 in 2024 to 85,793 in 2025. The 25-34 age group was most affected by the disease last year, accounting for 25% of all cases.
The Ministry of Health attributes the decline to increased access to diagnosis and treatment. The ministry also stated it is committed to mobilizing resources and integrating tuberculosis services into primary healthcare.
