Same year (2025), reported by The Kampala Post, Uganda expanded its national TB response with the deployment of tuk-tuk–mounted mobile units equipped with Delft Light portable X-ray systems and CAD4TB software. Delivered to the Ministry of Health with support from USAID and the U.S. Government, the new fleet includes 48 portable X-ray machines, 33 TB-LAMP platforms, and 33 Mobile XLAMP tricycles – reaching 68 districts and aiming to screen over 500,000 people in remote areas. This marks a continuation of Uganda’s leadership in using AI-powered mobile diagnostics to close detection gaps and move closer to TB elimination.
