Yes! We Can End TB — but only if we act together 🙌🏼

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases—yet it is preventable, treatable, and curable.
🌍 10.7 million people fell ill with TB
⚠️ 1.23 million people died from TB
👶 1.2 million children were affected by TB
❗ Around 22% of people with TB were not diagnosed or treated
💊 Only 2 in 5 people with drug-resistant TB accessed treatment

This World TB Day 2026, we are reminded that ending TB is not just a goal—it is achievable with strong leadership, sustained investment, and community-driven action.

💬 Ending TB requires all of us—governments, health systems, and communities—working together.
