were missed
9,400 individuals
developed drug-resistant TB
Our work in Nigeria
To address these challenges, we have partnered with the National Tuberculosis, Leprosy and Buruli Ulcer Control Programme (NTBLCP) and a range of local stakeholders to expand access to digital X-ray and AI-supported diagnostics across the country.
2017
Our work in Nigeria began through the Challenge TB Program, in collaboration with the KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation, 2 Delft OneStopTB X-ray Trucks were introduced in Nasarawa and Ogun States. These trucks were equipped with EasyDR X-ray systems, CAD4TB, and onboard GeneXpert testing facilities.
2019
We expanded the project with the Damien Foundation and delivered 3 OneStopTB
X-ray clinics, all supported by EasyDR and CAD4TB.
2021
We delivered 21 digital X-ray units for the Lagos State Ministry of Health, including 8 semi-mobile units, 10 room-based systems, and 3 TB vans, supported by EasyDR, MAC, or Delft Light
with CAD4TB.
2021
We delivered 5OneStopTB Clinics to Kaduna and provided 10 Delft Light systems with CAD4TB through the USAID-funded iNTP project, with seven units supplied to KNCV and three to IHVN.
2022
We delivered 20 Delft Light with CAD4TB to KNCV Nigeria, including four units to Heartland Alliance, and provided 12 EasyDR with CAD4TB to NACA.
2024
We delivered 13 Delft Light with CAD4TB, including 4 to Heartland Alliance, 4 to Achieving Health Nigeria Initiative, 3 to Georgetown Global Health Nigeria, and 2 to the Association for Reproductive and Family Health.
2024
In the same year, we delivered 14 Delft Light with CAD4TB, including 8 to Heartland Alliance, 2 to the Centre for Clinical Care and Clinical Research, 4 to the Excellence Community Education Welfare Scheme, and 1 to Health System Consult Ltd.
2024
We delivered in total 31 Delft Light with CAD4TB, including 17 to APIN Public Health Initiative, 10 to the Society for Family Health, and 4 to the Centre for Clinical Care and Clinical Research.
2024
Over 200 systems have been deployed nationwide by the National Tuberculosis, Leprosy & Buruli-Ulcer Control Programme (NTBLCP) across Nigeria.
Co-creating the future of lung health
Dr. Bethrand Odume
Executive Director, KNCV Nigeria
“KNCV Nigeria pioneered the chest X-ray with CAD4TB in Nigeria with WoW truck since 2018 which has been a key in our targeted TB case finding as well as advocacy especially within communities and hard-to-reach locations. Moreover, we are scaling-up digital X-ray with AI for TB case finding thanks to the introduction and pilot of Delft Light Backpack. The pilot had led to what we have been able to do not only at KNCV Nigeria but also at the National Program to help bridge the gap in TB case finding. Digital X-ray with AI has shown efficiency in TB case finding as number needed to screen and test had reduced significantly.”
Chimezie Dimkpa
Active Case-finding (ACF) Radiographer, KNCV Nigeria
“Since 2017, I've led a mobile one-stop TB clinic called Wellness on Wheels (WoW) across northern Nigeria, screening thousands of children, women, and men with a digital chest X-ray equipped with CAD4TB, testing presumptives, diagnosing cases, and linking them to free treatment. This hands-on approach has uncovered hidden TB cases, curbed community spread, and ultimately saved countless lives—proving that proactive, accessible healthcare is the key to eradicating this ancient scourge. “
