Bangladesh’s battles for equity in health, with Delft Imaging

Bangladesh, with a population of approximately 169.3 million, continues to face tuberculosis (TB) as a major public health challenge despite ongoing interventions.

375K+ people

developed TB in 2021

68,299 individuals

were missed by the health system

43K+ deaths

reported during the same year

Our work in Bangladesh

Bangladesh has adopted innovative solutions and strategic partnerships to address these challenges. With support from the WHO and Stop TB Partnership, we, alongside IRD, have launched early detection and treatment programs targeting underserved communities, particularly in Dhaka.

 

2013

We partnered with icddr,b and installed 1 EasyDR with CAD4TB under a sustainable pay-per-use model, which continues to operate today. A part of this fee supports the cost of the X-ray units.

14 Delft Lights with the CAD4TB were deployed to the Leprosy Hospital Compound under the USAID and Stop TB Partnership-supported iNTP project, with complete installation and training provided.

2023

We expanded the collaboration with icddr,b by delivering 12 additional Delft Light with CAD4TB to further enhance Bangladesh’s capacity for accurate, efficient, and early TB detection.
