National Nutrition Month is celebrated during the month of March to raise awareness about making informed food choices and developing healthy eating and physical activity habits.
Tuberculosis Awareness Day is every March 24th. “Yes! We can end TB” continues to be theme as TB is still one of the world’s deadliest diseases with an increase in drug-resistant TB in recent years. This day is a reminder to everyone the impact of TB around the world and the importance of educating the public about tuberculosis.
