RESUMEN
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted everyday life and put public health services and healthcare systems worldwide under stress. This has compromised the ability to control other diseases such as Malaria, Cancer and Tuberculosis. In this work we predict the rise in Tuberculosis occurrence and mortality when healthcare systems are impacted and diagnosis capabilities blocked in 4 countries where TB is prevalent. Our calculations show that an increase in new TB cases due to the COVID-19 pandemic could result in almost 400,000 additional deaths from TB in India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Kenya. We also show that increased diagnosis capabilities after the pandemic could reduce the additional deaths from TB resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic impact.
