Tuberculosis disease surveillance: Summary
This dashboard provides information on Tuberculosis (TB) disease in Canada.
- Last updated: 2025-12-08
The Public Health Agency of Canada, working alongside Federal, Provincial, Territorial, and Indigenous partners, is leveraging national surveillance data to inform a collaborative approach toward the goal of TB elimination in Canada. TB disease disproportionately impacts Inuit, First Nations, Métis, and persons born outside of Canada. Timely and comprehensive surveillance is essential for identifying high-risk populations, monitoring trends, and managing resources and informing policy and public health programs.
Together, we can end TB.
