1. WORLD TB DAY 24th March 2012 COMMEMORATION
The World TB Day is commemorated each year on 24th March. This is an occasion for all of us to reflect on our achievements and role in the fight against TB. The theme for 2012 World TB Day is "Call for a world free of TB” and the slogan is “Stop TB in my life time”.
The World TB Day campaign 2012 implies that people all over the world, from the youngest to the oldest will make the call, “Stop TB in my lifetime”. It is expected that today's children should expect to see a world where no one gets sick with TB. Women and men should expect to see a world where no one dies from TB. We as Kenyans would also like to see a nation where no one gets sick or dies from TB. We believe this campaign will speak to all Kenyans of all ages to take individual take action to stop TB in their life time.
