World Tuberculosis (TB) Day is observed annually on 24 March to raise awareness about tuberculosis and to commemorate the discovery of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium (M.tb) by Dr Robert Koch in 1882. It aims to educate people about the impact of TB on public health, and encourage governments and organizations to take action towards ending the TB epidemic.
Here at Touch Medical Media, we are supporting World Cancer Day in the second year of the three-year campaign called ‘Close the Care Gap’. In 2022, the theme was all about ‘Realizing the problem’. This year, the focus is on ‘Uniting our voices and taking action’.
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is one of the world’s most serious public health challenges. Since the identification of the virus's causal link to AIDS in 1984, the epidemic has claimed over 40 million lives through AIDS-related illnesses.
touchIMMUNOLOGY and touchENDOCRINOLOGY support World Diabetes Day and its mission to raise awareness of the dangers of diabetes, the preventative ways we can seek to avoid it, and the ever-growing research and treatments that need funding to change more lives.
