New Caledonia: Tuberculosis treatment success rate (% of new cases)

Key figures

Since 2000 it is down 63 percentage points from 89% in 2000. The World Bank has no value for 4 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2023, New Caledonia's tuberculosis treatment success rate (% of new cases) fell 21 percentage points on 2022 (from 47% to 26%).

Across the 15 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was −5.27 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 17.4 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.9 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 22 percentage points in 2004 and the biggest yearly fall was 47 percentage points in 2011. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
