About the event
Each year, we recognize World TB Day on March 24. This annual event commemorates the date in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch announced his discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus that causes tuberculosis (TB).
World TB Day is a day to increase awareness about the impact of TB around the world. The Clinical Care Platform, along with our partners and colleagues around the world will share clinical updates in TB prevention, treatment and control and raise awareness of the challenges that hinder our progress toward the elimination of this devastating disease.
