Armed conflict intensity and inequalities in tuberculosis outcomes in Colombia municipalities, 2008–2019
The impact of armed conflict on TB was not uniform across all settings. Persistent inequalities affecting young children and women in high-conflict municipalities highlight the need for territorially differentiated TB control strategies. Integrating conflict-sensitive approaches into TB surveillance, prevention and care is essential to reduce inequities and translate epidemiological evidence into effective public health action.
