'The Clock is Ticking' is the theme of which of the following days ?
Explanation
The theme for World Tuberculosis Day 2021 was 'The Clock is Ticking'. This day is observed annually on March 24 to raise public awareness about the health, social, and economic consequences of TB and to step up efforts to end the global epidemic.
The 2021 theme conveyed the message that the world is running out of time to act on the commitments to end TB made by global leaders. This was especially critical as the COVID-19 pandemic had put 'End TB' progress at risk. For context, other themes in 2021 were:
- International Yoga Day: 'Yoga for wellness'.
- International Women's Day: 'Choose to Challenge'.
- World Malaria Day: 'Reaching the zero malaria target'.
