Each year, we commemorate World #Tuberculosis (TB) Day on March 24 to raise public awareness about the devastating health, social and economic consequences of TB, and to step up efforts to end the global TB #epidemic. The date marks the day in 1882 when #DrRobertKoch announced that he had discovered the bacterium that causes #TB, which opened the way towards diagnosing and curing this disease.
TB remains one of the world’s deadliest #infectious killers. Each day, nearly 4000 lose their lives to TB and close to 28,000 people fall ill with this #preventable and curable disease. Global efforts to combat TB have saved an estimated 63 million lives since the year 2000.
The theme of #WorldTBDay 2021 - ‘The Clock is Ticking’ –conveys the sense that the world is running out of time to act on the commitments to end TB made by global leaders. This is especially critical in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that has put End TB progress at risk, and to ensure equitable access to prevention and care in line with #WHO’s drive towards achieving Universal Health Coverage.
