World Tuberculosis Day: Prevention and Health in the Spotlight with AGEL Plus

24. 3. 2025
Every year on March 24, we commemorate World Tuberculosis Day (TB) – a day that invites us to reflect on how important it is to raise awareness of this infectious disease, support prevention and ensure early diagnosis and treatment. Tuberculosis is still a global health problem that affects millions of people around the world every year. Although its incidence in the Czech Republic is relatively low, we must not forget that prevention and regular health checks are the key to maintaining the good condition of our lungs.
World Tuberculosis Day: Prevention and Health in the Spotlight with AGEL Plus

At AGEL Plus, we are fully aware of the importance of prevention and as part of our services we offer the option of a spirometry examination. This can be an important step towards caring for your lungs and detecting any problems early.

Spirometry: The Key to Understanding Your Lung Health

Spirometry is a simple, painless and non-invasive examination that measures lung function and can detect any breathing problems. This test is suitable not only for people who already have some breathing problems, but also for anyone who wants to be sure that their lungs are working properly. A spirometry test can help diagnose asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other lung diseases.

On the occasion of World Tuberculosis Day, we would like to encourage you to think about your lung health. Tuberculosis, although less common, is a serious disease that can have long-term consequences if not diagnosed and treated early. Regular lung function tests can help detect other respiratory problems in their early stages and allow for early treatment.

Why is it important?

Tuberculosis is just one example of diseases that can have a serious impact on human health if not diagnosed in time. More than 10 million new cases of TB are diagnosed worldwide each year and approximately 1.25 million people succumb to the disease. Although the Czech Republic is among the countries with a low incidence of this tuberculosis, the global threat of the disease continues to teach us that prevention is the key to protecting not only individuals but also society as a whole.

Spirometry is one of many preventive measures that will help you keep track of the condition of your respiratory system. Combined with other preventive measures, such as a healthy lifestyle, early diagnosis and quality medical care, you can prevent many health problems.
