About Course
In India, about 2 million confirmed malaria cases and 1,000 deaths are reported annually, although WHO estimates 15 million cases and 20,000 deaths, while the disease burden for tuberculosis is 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than the global average. Infectious diseases remain predominant while non-communicable diseases are emerging, imposing a double burden on India's healthcare system. India harbors the highest number of TB cases globally, yet there's a critical shortage of trained infectious disease specialists to manage complex cases and emerging pathogens.
