Human Chain Tuberculosis Awareness program held today March24 (World Tuberculosis day) 11am to 12pm at KB Daasan Salai, Aalwarpet

Every year 10 to 15 lakh people die of tuberculosis. This dangerous disease is seen more spreading in developing countries.

In 1882 doctor Robert koch discovered the causative agent for the fatal disease tuberculosis to be Bacillus anthracis & stunned other scientists. Today March 24 is considered as World Tuberculosis day.

25% of World Tuberculosis patients are in India.
