Each year, we recognize World TB Day on March 24. This annual event commemorates the date in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch announced his discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus that causes tuberculosis (TB).
It's a day dedicated to raising awareness about tuberculosis (TB), a contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. The day aims to highlight the global efforts to eliminate TB and to increase public understanding of the devastating health, social, and economic consequences of the disease.
