Myanmar continues to face a heavy tuberculosis burden, with over 300,000 people estimated to have developed TB in 2023 and nearly 50,000 deaths recorded. The gap in access to diagnosis remains substantial, with more than 170,000 people missing from care.
To address these challenges, we contributed to strengthening diagnostic access through mobile infrastructure and an AI-supported solution. In 2017, 2 Delft OneStopTB X-ray Trucks were procured by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) for deployment across Myanmar. Each mobile clinic is outfitted with an EasyDR X-ray system, CAD4TB, and a laboratory setup, creating a fully equipped diagnostic environment on the move.
In 2023, the National Tuberculosis Programme deployed a CAD4TB through UNOPS. In 2024, we expanded support further by delivering 5 additional CAD4TB to help scale up active screening efforts nationwide.
