Finding and diagnosing tuberculosis (TB), continues to be the most challenging aspect of the TB cascade of care. Each year, an estimated three million people with TB go undiagnosed and untreated. Among those who are diagnosed, only 48% receive a rapid molecular test as the initial diagnostic as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). To address these gaps, WHO introduced the WHO Standard: Universal Access to Rapid Tuberculosis Diagnostics in 2023. This standard, based on the WHO consolidated guidelines and operational handbook on TB diagnosis, outlines 12 key benchmarks across the four steps of the diagnostic cascade: identifying individuals with presumptive TB, accessing testing, undergoing testing, and receiving a diagnosis. The standard includes a detailed workbook describing each benchmark and the required indicators. This resource supports national TB programs in tracking progress and enables them to submit annual data to the WHO, strengthening efforts to improve TB diagnosis and care.
