World Tuberculosis Day 2015

"Reach, Treat, Cure Everyone" is the theme of this year's celebration of the World Tb Day. World TB Day, March 24, marks the day in 1882 when German microbiologist Robert Koch announced his discovery of the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB). Despite the considerable progress made since that discovery, TB remains one of the world’s deadliest diseases. This highlights the annual activity that fall on the 24th day of March to address the awareness on case findings to increase cure rate and detection rate of TB. The WHO is taking its effort to pacify the present situation of Tb especially in poor communities that is vulnerable to said disease. TB is a disease discovered centuries ago yet it is considered as one of the deadly disease. The promotion and awareness campaign of TB has been reaching communities around the globe. Its main target is to eliminate cases of TB by reaching the nearest health center that provide medications (DOTS).
