World TB Day is observed every year on March 24 to raise awareness about tuberculosis (TB), one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. The date was chosen to commemorate Dr. Robert Koch’s discovery of the TB bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, on March 24, 1882. The theme for World TB Day 2025, "Yes! We Can End TB: Commit, Invest, Deliver," emphasizes the need for increased global commitment and investment to eliminate TB. The day serves as a reminder to strengthen efforts in combating TB and highlights the ongoing challenges of drug-resistant strains.
