National TB screening programs

Eliminating tuberculosis takes screening capacity that works at scale: imaging, interpretation, reporting, and referral pathways that hold up under real-world conditions.

Bringing TB screening closer to communities

Early detection often depends on where screening is available. In many countries, rural regions and underserved communities sit outside stable radiology infrastructure, which leads to uneven coverage and missed cases.

The system challenge

National TB programs often face structural constraints:

  • Limited radiology capacity and specialist shortages
  • Fragmented workflows between imaging, interpretation, and reporting uneven access across rural and remote regions
  • Increasing accountability to donors and public stakeholders
  • Funding shifts toward long-term sustainability and performance-based evaluation

Therefore, scaling screening takes more than procurement. It takes coordinated infrastructure and clear operational ownership.

Our solution

Decentralized screening helps extend access beyond hospitals, but it only delivers results when mobility, AI interpretation, data reporting, and service support work as one system.

We support governments and implementing partners in building community-based TB screening models that are scalable, integrated, and sustainable.

Building a reliable health system capability

We combine AI-supported image interpretation, digital imaging, mobility options, data integration, and structured implementation support into a single screening approach.  Each component is designed to fit national workflows, not run alongside them.

Our solutions supports:
  • Standardized screening across regions
  • Real-time triage and clearer referral pathways
  • Integration with national reporting systems
  • Service support designed for continuity at national scale
  • Scalable deployment across fixed sites and mobile settings

Implementation and operational reliability

Technology only strengthens health systems
when it is implemented well.

Our support

We support national programs with deployment planning, training, workflow optimization, and proactive monitoring.

Our national-scale program

At national scale, uptime, lifecycle management, and service responsiveness are program requirements, not technical details.

Economic sustainability and responsible AI

Responsible AI governance and operational transparency help build long-term trust.

Health system investments need to be defensible.

We support decision-makers with:

  • Transparent total cost of ownership
  • Planning to optimize screening throughput
  • Predictable service and maintenance models
  • Clear performance reporting for stakeholders
  • Ongoing validation support and alignment with local regulatory requirements

Your long-term national screening partner

A system-level screening partner

We support more than software or hardware. We act as a long-term screening partner aligned with national strategies, helping expand detection capacity while strengthening day-to-day delivery.
Screening is the entry point. Sustainable operations are what make it last.

Strengthen your national screening strategy

If your program is evaluating how to expand TB screening capacity, improve integration, or strengthen long-term sustainability, we can support a structured assessment of your current setup and operating model.
