World Tuberculosis Day
March 24
World TB Day is a day to educate the public about the impact of Tuberculosis (TB) around the world. This annual event commemorates the date in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch announced his discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus that causes tuberculosis (TB).
The theme of World TB Day 2020 is “It’s TIME”: it’s time for action! It’s time to end TB.
