Harnessing Innovative and Feasible Strategies to Optimize TB Case Finding: High-Load Health Facilities Initiative in Ethiopia

The “High-Load Health Facilities Initiative” under the USAID Eliminate TB Project in Ethiopia focuses on optimizing tuberculosis (TB) case finding in response to the decline in TB incidence and the challenge of undetected cases. The initiative employs innovative screening tools, such as chest X-ray (CXR), to enhance clinician awareness and training, thereby improving TB detection and treatment coverage.
