Description:Each year on March 24, CDC joins the global community to observe World Tuberculosis (TB) Day – an important moment to reaffirm our commitment to end TB.
TB remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide, devastating entire nations and countless lives. Every day, 3,500 people across the world die preventable deaths from TB. If left undiagnosed and untreated, people living with TB can unknowingly spread the disease to others. People who are not treated for TB can potentially infect 10-15 more people each year. The threat of TB anywhere is a threat everywhere.
The theme for this year’s observance, “Yes! We Can End TB,” highlights the determination and enthusiasm of global partners as we continue working together to end the global TB epidemic. CDC is on the frontlines in 42 high-burden TB countries– partnering with ministries of health to sustain efforts to prevent, diagnose, and treat this disease. On World TB Day, and every day, CDC joins our global partners in creating a healthier and more equitable world free from TB.
