Delft Light in Uzbekistan

Tuberculosis remains a public health priority in Uzbekistan, with ongoing gaps in diagnosis and linkage to care. While progress has been made in reducing mortality and co-infections, drug-resistant TB and access challenges across the country’s vast geography continue to require sustained attention.

Our work in Uzbekistan

2021

We delivered 2 Delft Light backpack X-ray systems with CAD4TB to the Ministry of Health, supporting TB screening among remote and vulnerable communities in the Tashkent region. This project was funded by USAID in coordination with the National Tuberculosis Program.

“Al helps simplify the activity of radiologists. At first, they were scared that we would probably lose our jobs, but then they understood that it would ease the performance and help us receive patients very quickly. Within 3-5 seconds, we can see to see focal lesions. It helps to have the heat map, which is very convenient for identifying his pathology and, of course, such parameters for us. It's convenient because we can print and collect this data and medical history.”

Tuberculosis remains a significant public health challenge in many parts of the world, including Uzbekistan. Despite advancements in healthcare technologies, accessing and implementing these solutions can be challenging, particularly in regions with logistical and infrastructural barriers. Delft Imaging has stepped up to address these challenges, bringing innovative health technology to the forefront of Uzbekistan’s battle against TB.
