On the eve of World Tuberculosis Day, President Droupadi Murmu urged the nation to unite in the effort to make India TB-free, highlighting the critical importance of awareness and early treatment. Health-care professionals globally are called to develop sustainable methods to curb tuberculosis, emphasizing the need to address pandemics and antimicrobial resistance. The day marks a significant battle against tuberculosis, with efforts spanning from raising mass awareness to deploying new technologies in diagnosis and treatment. Notably, women and girls represent nearly one million of the estimated 2.8 million TB cases in India annually. Historical milestones include the discovery of the TB bacteria on 3/24/1882 and the WHO's declaration of TB as a global emergency on 3/24/1993. Since then, over 150 million people have received treatment. Contributions from entities like Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in developing antibiotics for multidrug-resistant TB and the Indian Railways' awareness initiatives underscore the global commitment to ending TB.
