World Tuberculosis Day is observed annually on March 24th to raise public awareness about the global impact of tuberculosis (TB) and the ongoing efforts to eliminate this preventable and curable disease. Despite advances in treatment, TB remains a significant health challenge, with 10 million people falling ill and 1.5 million deaths in 2018 alone, primarily in low- and middle-income countries. As the leading cause of death from an infectious disease, World TB Day calls for urgent action to reduce its spread and save lives through education, prevention, and access to care.
