WORLD TB DAY RUN 2022

Zambia National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Programme (NTLP) - World TB Day Run

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 5 causes of death in Zambia despite being preventable and curable.

Join the rest of the country in the ‘Run to End TB’ campaign. Our goal is to run a collective 59,000 km. It is estimated that 59,000 Zambians will suffer from TB in 2022. Each km run represents one of these individuals.

We challenge individuals and organizations to get up and get moving. Ending TB requires concerted action by all sectors and all care providers. Everyone has a role to play in ending TB – individuals, communities, businesses, governments, societies, and running clubs. Everyone must join the race to end TB by 2030.
