Abstract

Tuberculosis is a constant issue related to public health. The disease is highly infectious, and about one-fourth of the global population is presumed to be infected. The efforts for tuberculosis control are in full swing, especially in the endemic countries. The World Tuberculosis Day was celebrated on March 24, 2024; however, the theme of the last year, i.e., 'Yes! We can end TB', was continued for 2024. The theme justifies the commitment of stakeholders and policymakers to a sustained effort to eliminate tuberculosis.
