The Stop TB Partnership’s Global Drug Facility (GDF) announced the inclusion in its catalog, for the first time ever, of two ultra-portable digital X-ray systems and two software packages for the computer-aided detection of TB based on artificial intelligence. These important digital tools to combat TB will be made available at a reduced cost to all TB programs in low- and middle-income countries.

To help facilitate uptake of these new technologies, the Stop TB Partnership also launched a Practical guide on screening and triage for TB using computer-aided detection technology and ultra-portable X-ray systems.
