World Tuberculosis Day 2026

Theme: “Yes! We Can End TB: Led by Countries, Powered by People”

Tuberculosis remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases yet it is preventable and curable.

Today, MIC-D in collaboration with KNCV, Caritas Nigeria, IHVN, & Global Fund raise our voices louder than ever.

🌍 The Numbers Don’t Lie

Nigeria ranks among the world’s high TB burden countries, contributing significantly to global TB cases.
Globally, TB kills over 1.25 million people annually, with millions more falling ill each year.
In Abia State and across Nigeria, poverty, overcrowding, and delayed diagnosis continue to fuel transmission.

⚠️ Who Is at Risk?
TB does not discriminate, but certain *factors* increase vulnerability:
🔴 Close contact with an active TB case
🔴 HIV/AIDS and other immunocompromising conditions
🔴 Malnutrition and underweight
🔴 Overcrowded or poorly ventilated living spaces
🔴 Diabetes mellitus
🔴 Smoking and excessive alcohol use
🔴 Healthcare workers with unprotected exposure
🔴 Incarcerated individuals and urban slum dwellers

🛡️ Prevention & Control

✅ Get vaccinated — the BCG vaccine protects children from severe TB

✅ Know your TB status — get tested if you have a persistent cough (2 weeks or more), fever, night sweats, or unexplained weight loss

✅ Complete your full course of treatment — drug resistance begins with incomplete therapy

✅ Ventilate your home and living spaces

✅ Support TB screening and contact tracing in your community

✅ If HIV-positive, receive TB preventive therapy

💊 Treatment Works
TB is treatable. With the right drugs taken consistently for 6 months, the vast majority of TB patients achieve full recovery. Early diagnosis saves lives.

The theme this year charges countries to lead and people to power the movement. That means YOU advocate, educate, screen, and support those on TB treatment.

Together, we can end TB.
