Our work in Zimbabwe

2023

To support the country’s diagnostic capacity, we delivered 31 multi-functional CompassDR X-ray systems to the Ministry of Health in Zimbabwe. These multi-functional systems were deployed across healthcare facilities to strengthen routine TB detection.

We further strengthened a Delft Light X-ray system, paired with CAD4TB, through the Global Drug Facility (GDF), further boosting flexibility in screening access across more remote or underserved areas.
