This discussion will begin by examining the nature of Tuberculosis as a potential threat and by analyzing the government’s response to prevent its resurgence within the country. Additionally, the implications of Tuberculosis for healthcare practices, with a specific focus on dental care, will be explored.

Tuberculosis has a rich historical context, impacting not only the health of individuals but also leaving its mark on art and culture. While significant progress has been made in combating Tuberculosis in developed countries, including Germany, it is crucial to revisit the relevance of this disease in the modern context. By understanding its continued importance and addressing potential vulnerabilities, healthcare systems can be ensured to remain vigilant and responsive to the evolving global health landscape. The importance of Tuberculosis in contemporary Germany and the broader healthcare context will be illuminated in this paper.
