Students are the ultimate health messengers!
Our Urban TB LON II Project team is on the ground at local schools, turning students into active partners for a TB-free community. By raising TB awareness in TB hot spot areas, we are empowering youth to speak up, dismantle social stigma, and bring vital health information home to their families.
Early detection saves lives, and finding hidden cases starts with education.

Recently, the Ministry of Health distributed Truenat molecular diagnostic machines to peripheral health facilities to expand access to rapid TB and drug-resistant TB testing. To ensure these point-of-care machines become operational immediately, the USAID Urban TB LON II Project conducted a successful four-day Truenat MTB/RIF Dx technical training in Bishoftu.
A total of 37 laboratory professionals from six project implementation regions gathered to master this advanced, battery-operated micro-PCR system. Through intensive, hands-on sessions, participants gained expertise in complex sample preparation, DNA extraction, and critical troubleshooting techniques to prevent common cartridge blockage errors.
Equipped with the practical skills to deliver highly accurate results in under two hours, these professionals are now ready to launch testing services in strict accordance with national guidelines.
Currently, 99 Truenat machines are deployed across Ethiopia, bridging the diagnostic gap at the community level and significantly strengthening our health system's reach.

We are proud to share that REACH Ethiopia’s Urban TB LON II Project, in collaboration with Gedeo Zone Health Department, recently conducted a comprehensive nine-month TB Program Performance Review Meeting in Dilla.
As featured on Gedeo TV, our joint efforts are showing remarkable results in the fight against TB. Thanks to our dedicated health workers and partners, we have hit major milestones over the last 9 months:
👉3,176 TB cases detected (reaching 83% of our annual target)
👉AI & Digital X-ray technology deployed for faster, more accurate screening
👉Innovative stool testing introduced to protect children under 5 age
👉Solar power infrastructure installed to ensure uninterrupted lab diagnostics
Read the full news from Gedeo TV below! 👇
⚠️ Reminder: TB is fully preventable and curable! If you have a persistent cough (lasting more than 2 weeks), fever, night sweats, or sudden weight loss, please visit your nearest public health facility immediately for free screening and care. Let's protect our community together!

📍Addis Ababa
We successfully trained 30 laboratory professionals from Private-Public Mix (PPM) health facilities across Addis Ababa, equipping them with the essential skills and knowledge required for improved TB diagnosis.
Following a recent assessment that identified a significant gap in diagnostic capacity, this session was designed to:
👉Equip professionals with advanced hands-on practical skills.
👉Enhance the quality of AFB testing services.
👉Boost EQA participation and performance scores.
By empowering our frontline lab professionals, we are working to ensure more accurate results & better health outcomes for our community.

In many TB hotspot areas in Ethiopia, the biggest challenge isn't just the disease, it’s the lack of awareness. During our fieldwork, we’ve met many individuals who had never heard of TB, yet were silently carrying & transmitting the disease .
We are changing that narrative through active community outreach by:
👉Teaching the communities how TB spreads and how to stay safe.
👉Identifying at-risk individuals through Symptom-Based Screening
👉Utilizing Digital X-rays with AI to detect cases that standard exams often miss.
We believe that finding just one "silent" case protects an entire community . Thus, we are on the ground every day to 1️⃣find, 2️⃣treat, & 3️⃣ultimately save the lives of those affected by TB.

‼️Strengthening TB Care at the Grassroots🇪🇹
We recently wrapped up Primary Health Care Unit (PHCU) review meetings across eight zones in the Oromia, Sidama, Central, and South Ethiopia regions. Our focus is to scaling up TB prevention & care at both the facility & community levels.
Through the Urban TB LON II Project, we are directly supporting 539 PHCUs and 1,783 Satellite Health Posts, ensuring no one is left behind. Every life saved brings us closer to a TB-free future.
This impact is made possible through the support of the U.S. Department of State - Foreign Assistance Division.

We recently concluded 4 rounds of capacity-building training on Management of Childhood TB, reaching 144 healthcare workers from public & private health facilities across Addis Ababa. This orientation training focused on increasing case-finding, improving diagnostic accuracy, & managing TB-HIV comorbidities to ensure better outcomes for children and adolescents. By strengthening contact screening and preventive therapy implementation, we are taking a vital step toward saving lives. This essential work is part of the Urban TB LON II Project, made possible through the support of the U.S. Department of State - Foreign Assistance Division.
Together, we are working to make quality TB services accessible to every child!

📍Addis Ababa

Yesterday, we conducted a targeted capacity-building orientation on stool-based childhood TB diagnosis for approximately 80 laboratory professionals from public health referring sites across Addis Ababa. The session focused on strengthening participants’ theoretical knowledge and practical understanding of stool specimen collection and transportation for GeneXpert testing to diagnose TB among children under 15 years of age.
This approach represents an important advancement in pediatric TB diagnosis, particularly in cases where sputum collection is difficult. By adopting this non-invasive diagnostic method, the trained professionals are now better equipped to improve TB detection, facilitate early diagnosis, and support timely treatment initiation for children suspected of having TB in Addis Ababa.
