Field TB-Screening of Migrants Living in the Thailand-Myanmar Border with CAD4TB

For more information about how the Delft Light portable X-ray and CAD4TB solutions are used in Thailand, please view the story of ‘Field TB-Screening of Migrants Living in the Thailand-Myanmar Border with CAD4TB’ by Dr. Banyar Maung of SMRU in Thailand. The story was presented during the Delft Imaging webinar of 2022. During the webinar, Dr Maung noted: “Our target populations are migrants from Myanmar living in remote Thai villages. They find getting screened for TB and other health issues challenging as many are illegal migrants with travel restrictions and, thus, not included in Thailand’s health system. We must go to them since sending them to the clinic is difficult. So, we are doing both active and passive case findings. We use CAD4TB in free screening in the villages and our two TB clinics- one on each side of the Thailand-Myanmar border.”
