For more information about how the OneStopTB mobile clinics are used in Malawi, please view the story ‘Targeted Active TB Case Finding Using Mobile TB Diagnostics Units in Malawi,” presented by Dr. Isaias Dambe of the National TB and Leprosy Elimination Program in Malawi. The story was presented during the Delft Imaging webinar of 2022.
"Malawians have poor health-seeking behavior. About 36% of those sick don’t go to the hospital. Another 50% go to the hospital, but the health system can’t help them. Therefore, we realized that there is a need for active TB case-finding. We approached the WHO, and they recommended the Global Fund, which assisted us in procuring mobile X-ray diagnostic clinics for communities, especially the vulnerable. We procured seven mobile X-ray clinics from Delft Imaging to cover our nation.”
