24 MARCH - WORLD TB DAY

(source: www.stoptb.org/)
World Tuberculosis day, held each year on 24 March, is an occasion for people around the world to raise awareness about the international health threat presented by tuberculosis (TB).

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection caused by a germ called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but they can also damage other parts of the body.

This year’s World TB Day slogan, “I am stopping TB”, communicates the importance of celebrating the lives of people affected by TB and strengthens the global fight against it.
International TB Day serves us a reminder that the effects of this disease are felt in every country.
