Webinar: Speed-Up, Scale-Up TB Testing: National Diagnostic Networks: Which TB Tests Go Where?

28 September 2024

The Diagnostics Equity Consortium (DEC) and the Global TB Community Advisory Board (TB CAB) hosted the second webinar of a three-part study club online series exploring the evolving TB diagnostic landscape and strategies to increase TB testing coverage.

The second session was held on 10 October 2024, and dove into how national diagnostic networks can be optimized for a greater reach. The speakers explored the placement and distribution of TB tests, given test specifications, health system requirements, and the preferences of communities. We hope to have the recording of the webinar posted here soon.

The recording of the first webinar, held on 17 September 2024, can be accessed here. If you’d like to receive a recording of this session, or receive updates/information about the third session, please write to Alice Kayongo.
