Indicator name

Tuberculosis incidence per 100,000 population in Inuit Nunangat
Target

Eliminate tuberculosis across Inuit Nunangat by 2030, and reducing the incidence of active tuberculosis by at least 50% by 2025
Indicator description

This indicator measures the tuberculosis incidence rate per 100,000 population among Inuit in Canada.
Geographical coverage

Canada
Unit of measurement

Number per 100,000 population
Calculations

The Canadian Tuberculosis Reporting System is a case-based surveillance system that maintains non-nominal data on people diagnosed with active TB disease in Canada. Data are collected annually from the provinces and territories, analyzed by the Public Health Agency of Canada and validated by each province and territory.

British Columbia has not reported on Indigenous status since 2016, and therefore did not contribute into these data.
Comments and limitations

Please note that due to existing data limitations, the indicator measures the tuberculosis incidence rate among Inuit across Canada rather than Inuit located in Inuit Nunangat. As data measuring tuberculosis incidence per 100,000 population in Inuit Nunangat become available, the indicator will be updated.
