How Delft Imaging technology and local partnerships transformed X-ray access and care delivery in Uganda.
Uganda’s battles for equity in health,
with Delft Imaging
Uganda 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.
99K+ people
developed TB in 2024
10.1K+ cases
of DS-TB were missed
9.7K TB-related deaths
were recorded
Our work in Uganda
Keeping this in mind, the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Programme (NTLP) focused on the use of portable digital X-rays with AI software for TB screening. They can help provide diagnostic facilities, not only in high-TB burden districts but also for community outreach.
2018
Our work in Uganda began when the IDA Foundation procured 5 Delft Light portable X-ray systems with CAD4TB. In 2020, DAHW provided 2 additional Delft Light systems with CAD4TB to the Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau. That same year, Lubaya Hospital implemented CAD4TB through Protid Africa.
2021
Witnessing the impact, 10 more Delft Light systems with CAD4TB were deployed. Five were procured under the introducing New Tools Project (iNTP) by the StopTB Partnership, the other five were provided through the Partnership for Supply Chain Management (PFSCM).
2021
The National TB and Leprosy Programme acquired 2 Delft OneStopTB X-ray Trucks through the UNOPS, each clinic outfitted with an EasyDR multi-functional X-ray and the CAD4TB, followed by 3 more Delft OneStopTB X-ray clinics later in the year.
2024
7 Delft Light systems, each equipped with CAD4TB, were delivered to Joint Medical Stores.
2025
The most significant scale-up came in 2025. The Ministry of Health received 11 Delft OneStopTB X-ray Trucks, each equipped with EasyDR and CAD4TB.
2025
19 Delft Light systems with CAD4TB were delivered to the National TB & Leprosy Division, while Joint Medical Stores received 22 Delft Light and CAD4TB more.
2025
Separately, 42 additional Delft Light units were supplied to the Ministry of Health through PFSCM.
2025
With the support from Invest International, 23 BabyCheckers were supplied to Uganda to do an implementation study. In collaboration with PSI Uganda, VIYA Health Enterprises and KIT Amsterdam, the study will assess the health effectiveness, acceptance and performance of BabyChecker implemented in 20 health facilities in Kampala, Mukono and Wakiso districts.
Co-creating the future of lung health.

“These connectivity solutions would help us in sending, aggregating and processing data from multiple instruments that are used in the laboratory. And this can help us in monitoring performance, instrument networks in real time, troubleshooting the utilization of the instruments, looking at reagents and forecasting stock, and also looking at the results for patient management.”

“In Uganda, CAD4TB is utilised in two settings: community outreaches and health facilities. For outreaches, digital X-rays and CAD machines housed in the OneStopTB Clinic vans travel through rural areas for widespread screening. Here, everyone at the outreach receives a chest X-ray as the initial screen, regardless of TB symptoms. If their score is 50 or higher, they proceed to GeneXpert testing. In health facilities, CAD4TB enhances the efficiency of the triage system, being used in a slightly different way.”
