The country continues to face high rates of TB, including drug-resistant forms of the disease, while TB-HIV co-infection further complicates diagnosis, treatment, and control efforts.

We delivered a Delft OneStopTB X-ray Clinic to the World Health Organization (WHO), fitted with an ultra-portable digital X-ray system and CAD4TB. This unit enabled point-of-care diagnostics in harder-to-reach areas.
