World Tuberculosis Day, falling on March 24 each year, is designed to build public awareness about the global epidemic of tuberculosis and efforts to eliminate the disease. Today tuberculosis causes the deaths of about 1.7 million people each year, mostly in the Third World.
March 24 commemorates the day in 1882 when Dr Robert Koch astounded the scientific community by announcing to a small group of scientists at the University of Berlin's Institute of Hygiene that he had discovered the cause of tuberculosis, the TB bacillus.
World Tuberculosis Day Themes (2000 to 2016) are :
2000 : Forging new partnerships to Stop TB
2001 : DOTS: TB cure for all
2002 : Stop TB, fight poverty
2003 : DOTS cured me – it will cure you too!
