In 1882, Dr. Robert Koch, a pioneering German physician, identified the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, the culprit behind TB. This groundbreaking discovery became a crucial step towards developing effective diagnosis and treatment methods.

Despite these advancements, TB remains a global health threat. Every year, millions fall ill, and many lives are tragically lost.

❗ Spread awareness: Share this post and educate your friends and family about TB.

❗ Know the symptoms: Coughing for more than 3 weeks, weight loss, fever, chest pain, and night sweats could be signs of TB.

❗ Get tested: Early detection is key to successful treatment.

❗ Support research and development: Advocate for better diagnostic tools, vaccines, and treatments.

Together, let's raise our voices and work towards a world free of TB!
