The Stop TB Partnership report highlighted the implementation of Delft Light and CAD4TB software in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to improve TB detection. These systems have significantly improved TB screening by consistently providing accurate X-ray interpretations, especially in remote areas. The project, supported by USAID and the Stop TB Partnership, has led to deploying these systems across four provinces in DRC, namely Kinshasa, Kasaï-Oriental, Haut-Katanga and Lualaba. As of June 2023, the initiative had screened over 11,000 individuals, identifying over 4,250 with abnormal chest X-rays and diagnosing 2,302 with TB.
