Tuberculosis survivors often face long-term physical, psychological, and social challenges beyond microbiological cure. Post-tuberculosis disease includes pulmonary damage, cardiovascular and neurological sequelae, and profound impacts on wellbeing and livelihoods.

A holistic, people-centered framework integrating medical, rehabilitative, and community-based strategies is essential to restore health and societal participation for tuberculosis survivors.
