Tuberculosis is an age-long disease that has proved challenging to eradicate. In 2019 about 10 million people fell ill of TB and it has caused 1.2 million deaths among HIV negative people and 208,000 deaths among HIV positive individuals [1]. The reduction in incidence rate between 2015 and 2019 was 9% and global target for 2030 is 80% [1]. For the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and WHO’s End TB Strategy the following should be considered; (1) breaking the transmission cascade of tuberculosis infection (2) effective management of the risk factors of spreading TB infection (3) administering workable preventive policy for individual health sector, and (4) prompt and effective standard control method. Tuberculosis infection is a must to eradicate, hence all stakeholders should come together for the patients, health care workers and policy makers to achieve End TB by 2035.
