Objectives:
This study aims to raise awareness of tuberculosis and emphasize prevention by reviewing the history of World Tuberculosis Day and Tuberculosis Prevention Day, as well as analyzing tuberculosis control policies and achievements.
Methods:
This study was prepared using a literature review and policy reports on Tuberculosis Prevention Day.
Results:
Since the 2010 revision of the Tuberculosis Prevention Act, Tuberculosis Prevention Day has been observed annually on March 24, replacing the previously designated Tuberculosis Prevention Week. Since 2013, a five-year Tuberculosis Control Plan has been implemented to systematically manage tuberculosis. The third plan is currently in progress, incorporating past achievements and addressing previous limitations.
Conclusions:
Tuberculosis Prevention Day underscores the severity of tuberculosis, its public health importance, and the efforts of frontline workers. The National Tuberculosis Control Plan has been developed based on domestic and international conditions, with a focus on training professionals, initiating preventive activities, and strengthening government-private collaboration systems.
