In 2024, NewChampion reported that Ebonyi State received four Delft Light portable digital X-ray machines equipped with CAD4TB for community TB services. The devices, provided by the Global Fund through KNCV Nigeria, will be deployed across hard-to-reach areas to enhance early TB detection and support the state’s efforts to eradicate tuberculosis.
In 2025, Daily Trust reported that Nigeria is leveraging portable digital X-ray systems with CAD4TB to strengthen TB detection in hard-to-reach communities. According to Dr. Olayemi Olupitan of the Institute of Human Virology Nigeria (IHVN), these ultra-portable X-ray units are deployed alongside Wellness on Wheels trucks and community outreach teams, enabling early diagnosis and closing the TB case-finding gap as part of the Global Fund-supported TB/HIV project.
In 2025, NewsNGR reported that Nigeria is scaling up the use of mobile digital X-ray units equipped with AI to improve TB screening among key and vulnerable populations. Coordinating Minister of Health Prof. Muhammad Pate noted, “We are prioritizing the use of mobile digital X-ray units equipped with artificial intelligence, operated by trained radiographers, to enhance TB screening among key and vulnerable populations. Currently, around 400 mobile digital X-ray platforms are deployed across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.”
