[Title] => World TB Day: Eradicating a vicious cycle
[Summary] => For one day in March every year, the whole world brings to mind a serious public concern that has plagued many countries worldwide, rich and poor alike. This is tuberculosis, more popularly known as TB, which is still one of the leading causes of sickness and death worldwide.

Do we need any more reason to learn more about it?
