a
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the number and proportion of new and retreatment cases of MDR-TB using country-level information. For countries that reported data, the latest available information was used. For countries that did not reported data, estimates were modeled using data from countries with similar TB epidemiology.20–24

The mean value of the estimate range given by the WHO is reported.
