About this Webinar:

Tuberculosis remains a global tragedy, claiming approximately 4,400 lives daily. This stark reality underlines the need for innovative screening solutions that boost TB case findings, thus ensuring timely intervention.

Our webinar shines a spotlight on how digital X-rays and AI-powered CAD enable rapid, yet accurate TB case detection in low-resource settings. This is particularly crucial for the key and vulnerable populations worldwide.

Keynote speakers from across the globe will share insights into the planning, implementation and deployment of these solutions in the field:

  • “The Challenges in Finding TB in Mining Employees”, Dr. Richard Jones, Regional Medical Director, International SOS, Indonesia, SEA Region
  • “Accelerating TB Case Finding: Screening in key populations (ART Centres) and TB Preventive Treatment (TPT) in Ghana”, Dr. Yaw Adusi Poku, Programme Manager, National TB Control, Ghana Health Service
  • “Optimising Xpert-orientated Active Case Finding for TB with Digital radiography and CAD”, Dr. Alex Scott, Research Medical Officer, Center for Lung Infection and Immunity, University of Cape Town Lung Institute
  • “Overcoming Obstacles in Implementing Computer-Aided Detection for Silicosis & TB”, Prof. Rodney Ehrlich, Senior Research Scholar, Division of Occupational Medicine School of Public Health, University of Cape Town

Simultaneous interpretation is available for our Arabic, Portuguese, French, Russian and Spanish-speaking audience. You can watch the full playlist here.
