Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne illness which can spread when an infected individual coughs or sneezes. TB is a serious issue for global public health, especially in low and middle-income nations, and it is a common cause of death due to infectious diseases. TB is most prevalent among vulnerable people who are marginalised and affected by social and economic problems. Poor living and working conditions, malnutrition, and poverty all contribute to the spread of this illness and have an impact on the health outcomes of those affected. As a result, progress in the fight against tuberculosis and its causes cannot be made by the health sector alone. It also requires strong commitment and multi-sectoral cooperation with stakeholders and policymakers and an efficient accountable feedback system.
This year, we aim to draw attention to the need to eradicate TB and alleviate the suffering it causes millions of people. We likewise advocate for those who are affected to receive comprehensive treatment. Although TB is treatable and curable with antibiotics, the emergence of drug-resistant TB strains is a rising worry, making it even more crucial to spread knowledge of the disease and take action to fight it. A worldwide call to action has been issued to resolve health inequities affecting those who have TB. To deliver the appropriate services, facilitate, and support a secure environment necessary for recovery. It is our shared duty to address injustices that fuel this disease and speed up its eradication.
