What is the origin of World Tuberculosis Day?

The origin and significance of "3.24 World Tuberculosis Day":1March 24, 882, was the day when the world-famous German scientist Koch read out the discovery of tuberculosis in Berlin. At that time, tuberculosis was rampant in Europe and America. Koch's discovery of tuberculosis provides an important scientific basis for future research and control of tuberculosis, and brings hope for the possible elimination of tuberculosis. Although effective anti-tuberculosis drugs appeared in 1950s, most people in the world could not get effective treatment services. Therefore, since 1882 Koch discovered tuberculosis, at least 200 million people have died of tuberculosis. In view of the deterioration of the global tuberculosis epidemic, the World Health Organization and the International Federation for the Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases have designated March 24th of each year as World Tuberculosis Day (March 24th, 1882). The famous German medical expert Koho announced to the world that he had discovered the cause of tuberculosis-Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in order to arouse the public's awareness of fighting tuberculosis.
