Algeria 1966 Anti-Tuberculosis Campaign

Algeria · 1966 · 25c + 5c

This semi-postal stamp from Algeria was issued to support the fight against tuberculosis. The design features a stylized Cross of Lorraine, a symbol widely associated with anti-tuberculosis campaigns, set against a patterned background. The surtax of 5 centimes was designated for public health initiatives.

Issued in the mid-1960s, this stamp reflects a global public health effort to combat tuberculosis, a major health concern during that period. Algeria, like many nations, used its postal system to raise funds and awareness for such causes.
