Improving tuberculosis detection in childrenThe Decide-TB project is evaluating tools that could help clinicians diagnose TB more reliably in children.

Enhancing uptake of tuberculosis preventive treatmentThe TEST4TPT project seeks to facilitate uptake of TB preventive treatment by enhancing early detection of exposure to TB bacteria.

Closing the diagnostic gap for paediatric tuberculosisThe ACT4KIDS-TB project is assessing whether combining different data sources can enable a clinic-decision-making app that supports...
