QuantiFERON World TB Day
Every 20 seconds, a life is lost to tuberculosis (TB). These aren’t just numbers – they’re parents, children, friends and loved ones. The fight against TB demands something extraordinary; it demands bold, collective and relentless effort.
The world’s deadliest infectious disease demands the world’s greatest efforts
TB has reclaimed its place as the world’s deadliest infectious disease, surpassing even COVID-19. Every year, TB claims the lives of over a million people worldwide. This preventable and curable disease doesn’t just affect individuals – it devastates families, weakens healthcare systems and hinders economies.
This World TB Day, March 24, join us for an educational program featuring global TB experts who will focus on TB testing and treatment. We’ll also showcase inspiring local voices from around the world, highlighting the impactful initiatives of TB fighters and advocates.
