27.03.2012 «Tuberculosis Exists!» Information Dissemination Event
Millions of people die from tuberculosis every year all over the world, although efficient treatment for tuberculosis have been made for a few decades. There is an annually run World Tuberculosis Day on March 24 to draw public attention to the fact that tuberculosis remains “killer #1” on the most part of our planet.  Robert Koch was able to discover the bacterium causing tuberculosis (Tubercle Bacilli) in 1882; he announced the discovery on 24 March.  In 1982,  on celebrating 100 Anniversary of Robert Koch’s discovery, the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IUATLD) suggested announcing March 24 an official World Tuberculosis Day.

On the threshold of this date – on March 23, Irkutsk Regional branch of the Russian Red Cross staffers and volunteers (students of Irkutsk State Railroad University Medical Nurse School) held a «Tuberculosis Exists!» Information Dissemination Event, which took place on Irkutsk walking street - Uritskogo street.  Volunteers reminded passers-by of a necessity to have lungs X-rayed on a regular basis and distributed IEC materials, containing useful information on tuberculosis prevention.
