World TB Day, 24 March 2009: I am Stopping TB!
I am stopping TB is more than a slogan. It is the continuation of a two-year campaign, launched in 2008, that belongs to people everywhere who are doing their part to Stop TB. This yearly event is about celebrating the lives and stories of people affected by tuberculosis: women, men and children who have taken TB treatment; nurses; doctors; researchers; community workers—anyone who has contributed towards the global fight against TB. This page contains the posters and links to the main event websites as well as to the latest WHO TB report being launched, among others.
