Azerbaijan advances TB care with first time use of innovative devices for ultra-portable x-ray screening and rapid molecular testing On 19-20 November 2024, the Pulmonary Institute Laboratory of Azerbaijan hosted a training session organized by the Ministry of Health of Azerbaijan (Səhiyyə Nazirliyi) and the Stop TB Partnership on use of the ultra-portable ProRad X-ray device and the Truenat PCR testing system for the screening and diagnosis of TB for the first time. The session introduced healthcare professionals to the ProRad and Truenat devices, which have been donated by the manufacturer Molbio Diagnostics to enhance the country's capacity to find TB early and at lower levels of the healthcare system including in remote and underserved areas. In addition to the training, the Stop TB Partnership facilitated a collaboration and representation functions with official representative of Molbio Diagnostics in Azerbaijan. This ensures the comprehensive service and maintenance of TB diagnostic devices, enabling their optimal utilization in the long term. This initiative aligns with global efforts to modernize TB diagnosis with innovative and climate-resilient tools, which are essential in achieving the targets set for ending TB by 2030. #EndTB #Tuberculosis #TBInnovation Suvanand Sahu

Last week, Jacob Creswell, Stop TB Partnership's Head of Innovation and Grants, was in Seoul for a series of impactful discussions and presentations aimed at advancing the fight against tuberculosis across Asia and beyond. 🌏 Jacob met with South Korea’s Ministry of Unification to explore how TB mathematical modeling can support the response in North Korea—a vital step in tackling TB across borders. He also presented groundbreaking TB innovations at the 7th International Symposium on Ending TB in Asia, sharing insights on how new tools and approaches can help end this deadly disease. In a joint effort with Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada initiative, Jacob presented Stop TB Partnership's TB REACH initiative to key Korean stakeholders, parliamentarians, Office of Government Policy Coordination, Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA), Ministry of Unification, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea, Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and KOFIC.
