24 марта ежегодно отмечается Всемирный день борьбы с туберкулезом. Несмотря на все усилия, прилагаемые международным медицинским сообществом и общественными организациями, туберкулез продолжает оставаться серьезной угрозой общественному здоровью и является особо опасным заболеванием. Несмотря на то, что с 2000 года было спасено 66 миллионов жизней людей во всем мире, пандемия COVID-19 сгладила позитивный эффект этих успехов. В 2020 году впервые более чем за десятилетие был зафиксирован рост числа смертей от туберкулеза.
Всемирная организация здравоохранения высоко отмечает успехи Республики Беларусь в профилактике и лечении туберкулеза. Результаты диагностики и лечения мультирезистентного туберкулеза в Беларуси выше, чем по всему европейскому региону. Эти успехи возможны благодаря использованию новых методов лечения и высокому уровню охвата новыми препаратами, что позволяет Республике Беларусь выполнить национальную программу противодействия распространению туберкулеза и уменьшить заболеваемость и смертность и увеличить число пациентов, успешно закончивших лечение и стать одним из лидеров европейского региона по улучшению общих показателей.
Разработка и внедрение инновационных подходов в лечении туберкулеза являются важным вкладом в достижение Республикой Беларусь Цели устойчивого развития 3 и других ЦУР.
