World TB Day 2026
Today is World TB Day
Tuberculosis kills more than 1.3 million people every year and yet it remains one of the most treatable infectious diseases we know. The gap between what's possible and what's happening is a research problem. It's a systems problem.
This #WorldTBDay, we're renewing our commitment to the interdisciplinary science that can close that gap — connecting immunologists, clinicians, microbiologists, epidemiologists, biostatisticians and community health researchers around a shared mission: ending TB for good.
The theme this year is Yes, We Can End TB. We believe it.
