Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs but can also impact other parts of the body. Despite being curable and preventable, TB remains a significant global health concern, highlighting the need for continued efforts in detection, treatment, and prevention.
World Tuberculosis Day serves as a global call to action to raise awareness about tuberculosis (TB) and its devastating impact on public health. It commemorates the discovery of the TB bacterium by Dr. Robert Koch in 1882, reminding us of the ongoing fight against this ancient but still prevalent disease. On this day, let’s come together to educate and advocate the eradication of TB, emphasizing the importance of early detection, treatment, and prevention to save lives and build a healthier future for all.
