World Tuberculosis Day is observed on March 24th every year to raise awareness about the devastating health, social, and economic impact of tuberculosis worldwide. It is a day to educate people about the efforts being made to prevent and control this infectious disease that continues to pose a threat to global health. On this day, various events and activities are organized to spread awareness and advocate for better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis, also known as TB, is caused by bacteria that usually attack the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, making it a highly contagious disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in preventing the spread of TB and reducing the risks of complications.

Images on this webpage for World Tuberculosis Day depict the importance of vaccination, proper hygiene practices, and early detection of symptoms to combat the spread of tuberculosis. These visuals serve as powerful reminders of the impact of TB on individuals and communities, urging everyone to take action in the fight against this preventable and treatable disease. Join us in raising awareness, sharing information, and advocating for better healthcare practices to eliminate tuberculosis for a healthier and safer world.
