The theme for World TB Day (WTBD) 2003 was “People with TB”, with the slogan “DOTS cured me – It will cure you too!” This slogan was chosen from over 100 entries submitted for
consideration from many sources – health and community care workers, doctors, non governmental organizations (NGOs) and other TB stakeholders. Suggestions came from all around the world: Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nepal, Netherlands, Pakistan, Philippines, Portugal, Sweden, United Kingdom and the USA, among others. “Dots cured me – It will cure you too!” stresses the need to involve people with TB as advocates in order to accelerate case detection. We know that in many societies the general public is more receptive to hearing TB messages from cured patients
