Each year, World Tuberculosis (TB) Day is celebrated on March 24 to raise public awareness about the devastating health, social and economic consequences of TB.
The date marks when Dr. Robert Koch announced in 1882 that he had discovered the bacterium that causes TB, which opened the way towards diagnosing and curing this disease, wrote the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2022.
Previous global efforts to combat TB have saved an estimated 66 million lives since 2000. However, TB remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious killers.
