๐Turkmenistan expands TB detection capacity with the deployment of Delft Light and CAD4TB across all regions.
โNow, with the advancement of innovation, this situation is changing: portable X-ray units with CAD4TB can be rapidly deployed even to the most remote locations โ meaning the equipment can be brought directly to the patient โ while artificial intelligence instantly analyzes the images, detecting signs of tuberculosis. This approach transforms screening from a slow and labor-intensive procedure into a mobile, efficient, and accessible opportunity for everyone to detect the disease in a timely mannerโ said Tomica Paovic, Deputy Resident Representative of UNDP Turkmenistan.
News Central Asia (nCa) recently reported on the nationwide implementation of Delft Imagingโs Delft Light and CAD4TB, led by UNDP Turkmenistan with support from The Global Fund. This initiative equips central and velayat TB hospitals with mobile X-ray systems and AI-powered diagnostics, enabling accurate, timely screening - even in areas with limited access to radiologists or infrastructure.
The project demonstrates how innovation and collaboration can overcome logistical and diagnostic barriers to support national TB programs and move closer to universal health coverage.
