World TB Day

World TB Day, observed on March 24th each year, raises awareness about tuberculosis (TB), a contagious bacterial infection primarily affecting the lungs. It aims to inform the public about the importance of early detection, treatment, and prevention. Despite being curable and preventable, TB remains a significant global health challenge, especially in vulnerable populations. The day also highlights the need for ongoing research, stronger health systems, and access to care to eliminate TB worldwide. It encourages governments, organizations, and individuals to work together in efforts to reduce the spread and impact of this disease.
