Globally, tuberculosis is the 13th leading cause of death and the second leading infectious killer after COVID-19 (above HIV/AIDS). In 2021, an estimated 10.6 million people fell ill with tuberculosis worldwide. Six million men, 3.4 million women and 1.2 million children. Tuberculosis is present in all countries and age groups. But Tuberculosis is curable and preventable. March 24th is observed as World Tuberculosis Day to build public awareness about the global epidemic of tuberculosis and efforts to eliminate the disease.

Considering World Tuberculosis Day, a webinar is being organized by TechSci Research on March 24th with the aim of raising awareness about Tuberculosis and its impact on public health.
