The infographic would cater to a largely non-academic audience using a visually appealing layout and presentation of key scientific information. The infographic should provide at a minimum: 1. key statistics about the disease, 2. population risk factors, and 3. key policies in place to reduce it along with global goals if any. 4. The impact of COVID on the disease should be referenced as a special section. 5. Lastly, there should be an attempt made to link the disease information to an Australian audience( What should someone living in Australia know about the disease and how it affects them.  Note:- My topic is about and Country will be Australia and Global  1:- key statistics about the disease e.g Global and Australia https://knoema.com/atlas/Australia/topics/Health/Risk-factors/Tuberculosis-death-rate Global impact of TB By Death Rate https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Flinq-management.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2Fcrops%2Fs.626bcdc3.infographic_page_9c28e1e309d004143bc85e0acb9b79ebe.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Flinq-management.com%2Fnews%2Fwho-global-tuberculosis-report-2020-covid-19-threatens-to-reverse-gain.html&tbnid=UKMGeTuA-vaWrM&vet=12ahUKEwj2v9_n_ajzAhUmoksFHX9mCGkQMygHegUIARCpAQ..i&docid=DYAPrME5vBN-BM&w=700&h=700&q=Global%20tuberculosis%20deaths%202020&ved=2ahUKEwj2v9_n_ajzAhUmoksFHX9mCGkQMygHegUIARCpAQ By ill https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.who.int%2Fimages%2Fdefault-source%2Ftuberculosis%2Fglobal-tuberculosis-report-2020%2Finfographic-page-6.png%3Fsfvrsn%3D7637eac7_2&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.who.int%2Fteams%2Fglobal-tuberculosis-programme%2Ftb-reports%2Fglobal-tuberculosis-report-2020&tbnid=p6Kb1vFPKbrlgM&vet=12ahUKEwiggbv7_qjzAhVTXisKHQzgCc8QMygBegUIARCnAQ..i&docid=jk3ALHmqxITyTM&w=2572&h=2572&q=Global%20tuberculosis%20%20ill%202020&ved=2ahUKEwiggbv7_qjzAhVTXisKHQzgCc8QMygBegUIARCnAQ 2: population risk factors risk factors that may be addressed in order to optimise TB prevention and care in the Australian context These risk factors include variables such as cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, homelessness and recent travel (in the past 2-5 years) to a TB endemic (>40/100 000 population) country. https://rsph.anu.edu.au/research/projects/australian-tuberculosis-risk-factor-survey. 3:- key policies in place to reduce it along with global goals WITH Global Data End TB - End TB Strategy, Global Plan to End TB WHO End TB Strategy 2016 - 2035 In 2014 the World Health Assembly adopted the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s “Global strategy and targets for tuberculosis prevention, care and control after 2015″1. This twenty year strategy aims to end the global TB epidemic and is unsurprisingly called the End TB Strategy. Ending TB is defined as an incidence rate of less than 10 people per 100,000 population per year. The incidence rate is the number of new cases of active TB disease in a population in a particular time period. The main targets in the End TB Strategy are: · To reduce TB deaths by 95% · To cut new cases of TB by 90% between 2015 and 2035 · To ensure that no family is burdened with catastrophic expenses due to TB. Global Plan Targets At it’s core the Global Plan is about improving the reach and quality of medical treatment for TB. There is enormous scope for this to be done. Three targets have been set and it is estimated that if these targets are achieved by 2025 at the latest, then the goal to end TB will be met. The Global Plan therefore recommends that the targets should be achieved as soon as possible, ideally by 2020, and at the latest, by 2025. https://tbfacts.org/end-tb/ Australian Plan to reduce TB (i) reduce TB incidence by an average of 10% per annum by 2020, to ensure Australia is on the right path to meet the 2035 target; (ii) substantially reduce the disparity in TB rates between Indigenous and Australian born non-Indigenous populations by 2020, with the aim of zero disparity by 2035. https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/ohp-ntac-tb-strat-plan.htm 4: The impact of COVID ON TB The impact of COVID-19 on the health status of individuals, including on the functioning of the immune system might be associated with a higher risk of developing active TB disease. Pneumonia and respiratory failure caused by COVID-19 might cause long-lasting damage to the respiratory system, particularly the lungs, which might increase the risk of TB. Previous studies have shown that infections with viruses such as HIV and influenza play a role in the development of active TB disease, either directly after exposure to TB or through reactivation of latent TB infection. file:///C:/Users/fiden/Downloads/tropicalmed-05-00123.pdf 5. What should someone living in Australia know about the disease and how it affects them.  1. Australians who travel frequently, including to countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea where TB is much more common, are fortunately at very low risk of catching TB overseas, and no pre-travel vaccines are needed. 2. People at very high risk of TB exposure, like those going to work in healthcare in countries with high TB rates or those on immune suppressing medication, may need special advice and should talk about risk with their doctors prior to travel. 3 Tuberculosis treatment is provided free of charge in Australia for anyone who needs it. https://theconversation.com/explainer-what-is-tb-and-am-i-at-risk-of-getting-it-in-australia-75290 Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that damages the lungs or other parts of the body and can cause serious illness and death. TB is caused by the bacterium (germ) Mycobacterium tuberculosis. There are 2 types of TB: active and inactive (latent) TB disease. Latent TB is when someone is infected with TB bacteria but does not get sick because their body is able to fight off the infection. Latent TB is not infectious. Active TB is when the bacteria multiply and grow, and the immune system is not able to fight them off. Active TB causes symptoms and is infectious. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/tuberculosis Signs and symptoms of active TB include: · Coughing for three or more weeks · Coughing up blood or mucus · Chest pain, or pain with breathing or coughing · Unintentional weight loss · Fatigue · Fever · Night sweats · Chills · Loss of appetite https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tuberculosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20351250.

Key Statistics
Tuberculosis can be described as a potentially infectious and serious disease which is primarily air borne i
n nature. The disease is caused by a bacteria which is known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease is usually spread in the form of droplets or even through saliva. It is characterised by heavy coughing for a couple of weeks, which can be even blood tinged, weight loss, night sweats as well as fever. In Australian jurisdiction, tuberculosis is an extremely common disease, primarily due to the fact that there are a huge number of people who have resided in tuberculosis endemic countries prior to travelling to Australia. As a result of this, tuberculosis has become a common incidence in Australia. It has been observed that there are approximately 1300 cases of tuberculosis per year in Australia (Australian National University, 2020). In the year 2019, it was found that the death rate in Australia due to tuberculosis was 0.2 cases per 100,000 people (knoema, 2020). Over the years the death in Australia due to the incidences of tuberculosis has fluctuated to a great extent, which came to 0.2 cases per 100,000 people in the period of 2000 and 2019.
Globally, in the year 2019, a total count of 1.4 million people experienced deaths due to the increased cases of tuberculosis (World Health Organisation, 2021). It has been observed by the World Health Organisation (WHO), that tuberculosis is one of the top ten causes of death worldwide. In addition to that, different statistics mentioned by WHO also exhibits that in the year 2019, as many as 10 million people contracted tuberculosis and fell ill globally (World Health Organisation, 2021). The statistics has been further broken down into different demographical divisions. It has been observed by World Health Organisation that in the year 2019, 5.6 million men, 3.2 million women and 1.2 million children were affected by the disease tuberculosis (World Health Organisation, 2021).
Population Risk Factors
The risk factors of tuberculosis ought to be considered in a serious manner in order to optimise the processes of treatment and care of the patients infected with tuberculosis in the Australian context. The first section of population risk factors of tuberculosis is inclusive of the people who have been recently exposed to the tuberculosis bacteria. This sections are divided into different subsections: close contact with an individual with a tuberculosis infection, people who have immigrated to Australia from countries where there are increased infections of tuberculosis, children below 5 years of age with a tuberculosis positive report, groups who have increased risk of tuberculosis transmission, which is inclusive of homeless people, injection drug users, individuals infected with HIV virus, and people who treat patients with...
