World TB Day:A Look Back at the Fight AgainstTuberculosis | United Nations

Tuberculosis (TB) has long been one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, and the fight against it has been relentless. This video brings together historic archival footage from the UN Audiovisual Library, featuring Hollywood actors in UN radio broadcasts and 16mm films from global TB testing and vaccination campaigns of the 1950s and 1960s. See the tireless efforts of organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Since 2000, global initiatives have saved an estimated 79 million lives, yet TB remains a major health threat, with 1.25 million fatalities in 2023. UNICEF has played a crucial role in tackling TB among children and adolescents, working alongside WHO and other global partners. This year's World Tuberculosis Day theme, "Yes! We Can End TB: Commit, Invest, Deliver," highlights the urgent need for global collaboration, increased investment, and high-quality care to eliminate TB. As we mark World TB Day 2025, this video serves as a powerful reminder of how far we've come — and the work that still lies ahead.
