World TB Day 2026 — YES! We Can End TB

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading infectious killer, and Bangladesh continues to carry a significant burden. Despite being preventable, treatable, and curable, effective control depends on early diagnosis, complete treatment, and sustained follow-up.

Bangladesh is high burden TB country. Currently, budgetary constraints have become a major challenge in TB care. We earnestly request the newly elected democratic government to kindly provide optimal funding for achieving the goals of END TB strategy.

Bangladesh Lung Foundation works beyond cure—focusing on Post-TB Lung Disease (PTLD), long-term care, awareness, research, and rehabilitation. It also promotes spirometry access, smoking cessation, and environmental risk reduction.

On this World TB Day, the call remains: Early detection. Complete treatment. Post-TB care. Lung health for all.
