On March 24, 2022, the world will commemorate the World TB Day in remembrance of the day in 1882, when the German scientist, Robert Koch, gave his famous lecture in which he announced the discovery of the pathogen that causes tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Barberis, et al, 2017). It is a day for raising awareness about TB and to reflect on the status of this age-old global epidemic. This year's theme for World TB Day is ‘Invest to End TB’ and it comes at a time when global TB care and prevention efforts are being hampered by the pressures on health services due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
