| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 60% | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 58% | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 47% | 2014 |
| Highest | 60% | 2021 |
| Lowest | 29% | 2000 |
| Average since 2015 | 56.6% | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 29% | 2000 |
Over five years it is up 2 percentage points from 58% in 2019. Since 2000 it is up 31 percentage points from 29% in 2000.
In 2024, Bhutan's tuberculosis case detection rate (%, all forms) did not change 0 percentage points on 2023 (from 60% to 60%).
Across the 23 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2023), the average change was +1.35 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.93 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.4 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3 percentage points in 2018. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.27 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 85% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2024, Bhutan had the 167th highest value of the 191 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Tuberculosis case detection rate (all forms) is the number of new and relapse tuberculosis cases notified to WHO in a given year, divided by WHO's estimate of the number of incident tuberculosis cases for the same year, expressed as a percentage. Estimates for all years are recalculated as new information becomes available and techniques are refined, so they may differ from those published previously.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
