Abstract

This paper addresses the World Tuberculosis (TB) Day 2025 theme, "Yes! We can end TB! Commit, Invest, Deliver". Through comprehensive analysis of China's TB epidemic landscape and associated challenges, we align with the "National TB Prevention and Control Plan (2024-2030)" which emphasizes that building Zero-TB communities through the integration of "active case finding" and "TB preventive treatment (TPT)" represents a viable pathway toward ending the TB epidemic. Active case finding serves as a critical intervention for early detection and transmission reduction, while TPT constitutes an essential strategy for decreasing latent TB infection incidence. By facilitating the rapid expansion of Zero-TB communities through governmental commitment, strategic resource allocation, and coordinated implementation, we anticipate achieving the ultimate goal of TB epidemic elimination.
