World Tuberculosis Day is observed every year on March 24, to raise awareness about the disease and to reduce stigmạ.
“I am happy to note that ‘World Tuberculosis Day’ is being celebrated on 24th March with the aim of increasing public awareness about Tuberculosis (TB),” the President said in her message.
