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

Tanzania continues to face significant challenges across lung and maternal health, driven by gaps in early detection, access to care, and service delivery in hard-to-reach areas. While progress has been made in reducing preventable maternal deaths, tuberculosis remains a major public health concern, underscoring the need for integrated, people-centered screening and early risk-detection approaches.

2010

Our engagement in Tanzania began when we delivered a digital X-ray system to support TB screening.

2020

We collaborated with research institutions in the country to study the use of CAD4TB for TB detection. As part of that effort, 2 CAD4TB installations were delivered to the NIMR–Mbeya Medical Research Centre.

That expansion continued with the delivery of 17 CAD4TB systems across multiple clinics and hospitals. Each site received full installation and training support through our in-country partner.

2022 

BabyChecker has been implemented in Tanzania to support antenatal screening efforts. Initial deployments focused on collecting field-level data and user feedback on its integration within outreach and facility-based antenatal care programs. Deployments were carried out with partners, including Misingi and the Karatu District.
