World Tuberculosis Day: Annual Observance Date
World Tuberculosis (TB) Day is observed globally each year to raise public awareness about the devastating health, social, and economic consequences of tuberculosis (TB).
The designated date for World TB Day is March 24.
This date was chosen to commemorate Dr. Robert Koch's groundbreaking announcement on March 24, 1882. He identified the bacterium responsible for causing TB, known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This discovery was a crucial step towards diagnosing and treating the disease.
Observing TB Day helps mobilize efforts to end the global TB epidemic by promoting prevention, diagnosis, and treatment services.
