News/Event Item
World TB Day
24 March 2003
The theme selected for World TB Day 2003 is "People with TB" and the slogan is "DOTS cured me - it will cure you too!". The theme has been chosen from over 100 entries submitted for consideration from many sources--health and community care workers, doctors, non-governmental organisations and others with interest in TB. Responses came from all around the world: Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nepal, Netherlands, Pakistan, Philippines, Portugal, Sweden, UK and the United States of America, among others.
The theme stresses the need to address the People with TB by involving them as advocates for Global TB control.
The theme supports Case Detection and DOTS expansion, one of the key objectives of the Global Plan to Stop TB launched in 2001, urging stakeholders to accelerate action.
