STATEMENT BY THE FIRST LADY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, HER EXCELLENCY SENATOR OLUREMI TINUBU, CON,ON THE OCCASION OF WORLD TUBERCULOSIS DAY 2025 (March 24th).<\/p>\n
Theme: \u201cYes! We Can End TB: Commit, Invest, Deliver\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, on World Tuberculosis Day 2025, I joined the global community in reaffirming our commitment to ending one of the world\u2019s deadliest infectious diseases, Tuberculosis (TB). Under this year\u2019s theme, \u201cYes! We Can End TB: Commit, Invest, Deliver,\u201d we are reminded that winning the fight against TB is possible when we unite our efforts, invest in proven solutions, and ensure the delivery of life-saving interventions to all who need them.<\/p>\n
As the National and Global Stop TB Champion, I take this responsibility with deep personal commitment. The fight against TB is not just a policy issue, it is personal, I have felt the pain of the loss of a friend. This is just a painful reminder that TB remains a major health threat, especially when it goes undiagnosed and untreated. We must not allow more lives to be lost to a disease that is both preventable and curable.<\/p>\n
I call on every Nigerian to take TB seriously. If you have a persistent cough lasting more than two weeks, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, or fever, please visit the nearest health facility for free TB testing and treatment. TB is curable, and early treatment saves lives.<\/p>\n
Together, Yes! We Can End TB. Let us commit, invest, and deliver on this promise for a healthier and TB-free Nigeria.<\/p>\n
God bless Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON.
