This page shows maps of tuberculosis (TB) notifications at the ward level in the two city corporations comprising Dhaka, Bangladesh: Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) and Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC). We also show estimates of the potential five- and ten-year reductions in TB incidence that could be achieved with population-level interventions including active case finding (ACF), preventive therapy (PT), and the combination of both (ACF + PT). Finally, we illustrate the additional benefit of using notification data to target these interventions to high-incidence "hotspots" within the city.
