Today is World TB Day and an opportunity for us to come together
to fight a disease that causes 1.8
million deaths each year. Despite being curable, tuberculosis (TB) is now the
world’s leading infectious disease killer, taking a life
every 21 seconds.
Together,
with support from our partners, we have helped save 49 million lives in the past 15 years.With
increased collaboration, accelerated research and innovation,
we can ultimately achieve a TB-free world.
Let’s keep
the momentum going this World TB Day and Unite to End TB!
