On World TB Day 2025, Stop TB Canada, along with our partners, volunteers, and advocates, rallied together to raise awareness and drive action in the fight against tuberculosis (TB). While TB is a curable disease, it continues to claim 1.25 million lives annually.

From lighting up landmarks across Canada to hosting impactful events, we highlighted the progress made and the work that still lies ahead. To read more about how we came together to raise our voices for a TB-free world, check out our World TB Day blog.

Living with TB can be isolating and challenging. The treatment process is long and stigma can make it even harder. Stop TB Canada invites you to show support by sending a message of hope to someone undergoing TB treatment.

You can send an anonymous message that will be displayed on our website and shared with healthcare providers across Canada, or write a personalized letter to someone affected by TB that we will help deliver.

A kind word can brighten someone’s day and remind them they’re not alone. Join us in spreading hope and compassion.

Stop TB Canada is proud to announce a faster process to procure pretomanid, a key component of the BPaL/M regimen for drug-resistant TB (DR-TB). Thanks to collaborative efforts with TB Alliance, Canadian physicians can now access pretomanid in about one week - down from 30+ days.

This improved procurement process ensures that Canadians diagnosed with DR-TB can start life-saving treatment without unnecessary delays and brings Canada one step closer to meeting global and national standards of care for people with DR-TB.
