Goal 6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases

latent tuberculosis was added to the response with strengthened and extensive contact investigations in
the five-year tuberculosis control plan (2013–2017) and implementation was established in 2013. Due to
these efforts Korea has achieved an average 5.2% reduction annually in tuberculosis incidence rate
between 2011 and 2016
