As we mark World Tuberculosis Day on March 24, 2024, under the theme of “Yes! We can end [tuberculosis] TB”, we need to remember that achieving zero cases and deaths is only one aspect of the battle against this tenacious disease. To combat tuberculosis effectively, we need a more comprehensive approach that includes every stage of the journey, from pretreatment to life after tuberculosis. This continuum of care, which incorporates post-tuberculosis assessment and care (figure), is essential to ensure that those with a history of tuberculosis, especially children and adolescents, can thrive without having debilitating sequelae.
