Our work in DR Congo
2017
We delivered a digital X-ray system with CAD4TB to the IDA Foundation.
2021
As part of the iNTP project (funded by USAID, supported by the Stop TB Partnership), we supplied 8 Delft Lights equipped with CAD4TB to the Programme National de Lutte contre la Tuberculose.
Deployed across the country
These systems were deployed across four provinces: Kinshasa, Kasaï-Oriental, Haut-Katanga, and Lualaba. These systems have significantly improved TB screening by consistently providing accurate X-ray interpretations, especially in remote areas.
Co-creating the future of lung health

“[…] those different people trained during the installation of digital x-rays had the support, the great support. The Delft team support were able to discuss with them of the different elements put in place, how to use them.”
