World Tuberculosis (TB) Day is observed annually on March 24th to raise public awareness about the devastating health, social, and economic consequences of TB. The day is an opportunity to mobilize political and social commitment for accelerating efforts to end TB. TB is a bacterial infection that mainly affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. TB is a major public health issue worldwide, with around 10 million people falling ill with TB every year and 1.4 million deaths attributed to the disease in 2019. On World TB Day, health organizations and governments around the world organize events, campaigns, and activities to raise awareness about TB, highlight the progress made in the fight against the disease, and call for increased funding and political commitment to end TB. The theme for World TB Day 2023 is "Accelerating the end of the TB epidemic: Build back stronger, smarter, and fairer with everyone, everywhere." It is essential to raise awareness about TB and ensure that individuals have access to high-quality diagnosis, treatment, and care. By working together and investing in research, prevention, and treatment, we can end the TB epidemic and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy life.

TUBERCULOSIS

7. WHAT IS TB?
2 TB is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium
tuberculosis.
It primarily affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body.
TB is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Common symptoms include coughing, fever, weight loss, and fatigue.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), TB is one of the top
10 causes of death worldwide.

8. In 2020, an estimated
10 million people fell ill with TB
globally and 1.4 million died from the
disease.

9. TB PREVENTION
AND TREATMENT
3 TB prevention strategies include vaccination (with the Bacille
Calmette-Guérin or BCG vaccine), infection control measures
(such as good ventilation and wearing masks), and improving
living conditions (such as reducing overcrowding and
improving nutrition).
TB can be treated with a combination of antibiotics for several
months, sometimes longer for drug-resistant strains.

10. TB PREVENTION
AND TREATMENT
3 Directly observed therapy (DOT) involves a healthcare worker observing
a patient taking their medication to ensure adherence.
WHO recommends a standard treatment regimen for TB called the
"short-course regimen" which consists of 6 months of treatment.
TB treatment success rates are high, but drug-resistant TB poses a
major challenge to TB control efforts.

12. CHALLENGES IN TB CONTROL
4 Drug-resistant TB is a major challenge to TB control efforts, with an estimated
600,000 cases of drug-resistant TB reported worldwide in 2020.
TB is also often associated with poverty and social determinants of health, which
can make it difficult to address.
Funding for TB control efforts is inadequate, with a funding gap of $1.3 billion for
TB research and development in 2020.
Initiatives and collaborations aimed at addressing these challenges include the
Stop TB Partnership, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and
Malaria, and the World Health Organization's End TB Strategy.

13. CONCLUSION
4 TB is a major global health problem that affects millions of people each
year.
Prevention and treatment strategies are available, but drug-resistant TB
and inadequate funding pose major challenges to TB control efforts.
Supporting TB control efforts and raising awareness of TB, particularly on
World TB Day, can help to address these challenges and improve TB
control efforts worldwide.
