World Tuberculosis (TB) Day
24-May-2025
Posted By Admin
World Tuberculosis (TB) Day is observed every year on March 24 to raise awareness about the devastating health, social, and economic impacts of tuberculosis and to step up efforts to eliminate the disease. The date marks the anniversary of Dr. Robert Koch’s discovery of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1882, a crucial breakthrough in diagnosing and treating TB.
Tuberculosis is a potentially serious infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs but can also spread to other organs. It is caused by bacteria that spread through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Common symptoms include prolonged cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss.
Despite being preventable and curable, TB remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 10 million people contract TB annually, and over 1.5 million die from the disease.
Global Efforts to Fight TB Efforts to combat TB include:
- Early Detection & Diagnosis: Promoting free TB testing and faster diagnostic tools.
- Vaccination & Treatment: Expanding the use of the BCG vaccine and ensuring access to antibiotics like rifampicin and isoniazid.
- Public Awareness: Educating communities about the importance of TB prevention, treatment adherence, and avoiding stigma around the disease.
- Research & Development: Encouraging innovation in TB treatment and vaccine development.
