Niger

Niger nature

Niger continues to face a high burden of tuberculosis. While national efforts to reduce TB are making progress, thousands remain undiagnosed or unreached by care.

 

19,000 people

developed TB in 2023

2,200 people

died from the disease

500 people 

were co-infected with HIV

590 cases

were identified as drug-resistant TB

Our work in Niger

To help close this gap, a Delft Light X-ray system, paired with CAD4TB,
was deployed in the country to support TB screening and triaging more effectively,
particularly in areas where access to diagnostic solutions is limited.

 

Making a difference in Niger

Dr. Soumana Alphazazi Pulmonologist and Phthisiologist, and National Coordinator of the National Tuberculosis Control Program in Niger

“Tuberculosis remains a serious public health problem. Much progress has been made, but the road ahead is still long. With decreasing funding, the integration of innovative tools like ultra-portable X-ray and CAD into our national program is not just beneficial – it’s necessary. These technologies have allowed us to detect cases earlier, reduce transmission, and reach vulnerable populations where traditional methods fall short. If we want to end tuberculosis by 2030, innovation and resource mobilization are our strongest path forward.”
