24th March 2024, worldwide.
Each year, we recognize World TB Day on March 24. This annual event commemorates the date in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch announced his discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus that causes tuberculosis (TB). Learn more about the History of World TB Day.
World TB Day is a day to educate the public about the impact of TB around the world. CDC, along with our partners and colleagues around the world share successes in TB prevention and control and raise awareness of the challenges that hinder our progress toward the elimination of this devastating disease.
CDC and its domestic and international partners, including the National TB Controllers Association, Stop TB USA, We Are TB, the TB Elimination Alliance, and the global Stop TB Partnership, are working together to eliminate this deadly disease.
CDC also highlights World TB Day events around the country: tag CDC TB on social media to promote any 2024 World TB Day events! Be sure to check back for more information and resources, as we get closer to World TB Day. You can also follow us on X @CDC_TB and Facebook @CDCTB and sign up for email updates here.
