Despite significant progress, TB remains a formidable challenge, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations in low- and middle-income countries.

With the sobering statistic that a quarter of the global population is infected with TB bacteria, the urgency to take action has never been greater. In 2023, TB claimed approximately 1.25 million lives, with many cases undiagnosed or untreated due to limited resources and healthcare access.

TB mortality remains high in Uganda, with about 4,000 people dying of the disease every year, an equivalent of the population in a parish setting.

TB is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosisTB mortality remains high in Uganda, with about 4,000 people dying of the disease every year, an equivalent of the population in a parish setting., primarily impacting the lungs. It spreads through airborne droplets when infected individuals cough, sneeze, or spit. Symptoms such as prolonged coughing, fever, and weight loss often manifest, signaling the need for immediate medical attention. While TB is both preventable and curable, early detection and treatment with antibiotics remain key.

Global efforts since 2000 have saved an estimated 79 million lives, a testament to collective action and advancements in medical care. But the journey is far from over. The 2030 goal to eliminate TB underscores the importance of enhanced funding, research, and widespread public health campaigns.

To mark this year’s World TB Day, communities worldwide are engaging in diverse activities:

Health awareness drives to educate the public about prevention and symptoms,Testing and screening camps to ensure early diagnosis and Fundraising campaigns to support research and healthcare initiatives.

The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the role of awareness, early detection, and treatment in combating TB. Additionally, governments and non-profits are urged to intensify efforts to address social determinants of health such as poverty, malnutrition, and inadequate living conditions.

This World TB Day, let us honor the lives lost, celebrate the lives saved, and renew our commitment to building a TB-free future. Together, through science, solidarity, and sustained efforts, we can end TB and save millions of lives.
