Today, 23 September 2026, TB Network joins communities and civil society organisations around the world in calling for faster, more accessible, and equitable TB diagnosis.

To mark the Global Day of Action for TB Diagnostics, TB Network – Civil Society for the Eradication of Tuberculosis in Nigeria submitted a memorandum to the Honourable Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, calling for a 5-year national roadmap for the ambitious scale-up of rapid molecular TB testing in Nigeria.

Our message is simple: we cannot end TB if people cannot access timely and accurate diagnosis.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐦 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫:

🔬 A costed 5-year national roadmap for TB screening and molecular testing
📍 Expansion of testing closer to communities and primary health-care facilities
⚡ Scale-up of WHO-recommended rapid molecular diagnostics, including near-point-of-care (nPOC) technologies
🎯 100% initial testing with WHO-recommended molecular tests by 2027
🏥 Access to molecular testing across health facilities, including PHCs
🤝 Meaningful community participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring
📊 Strong accountability mechanisms and quarterly reviews to address diagnostic bottlenecks

WHO's 2023 global commitment calls for 100% of people diagnosed with TB to be initially tested with a WHO-recommended rapid molecular test by 2027. In 2026, WHO also issued recommendations for near-point-of-care molecular TB tests designed to bring testing closer to communities and peripheral health facilities.

Nigeria has made progress in TB case detection, but closing the remaining diagnostic gap requires sustained investment, innovation, and action.

Every person with TB deserves timely access to an accurate test and prompt linkage to care.

Let's bring TB testing closer to the people.
Test early. Test rapidly. Test equitably.

GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION FOR TB DIAGNOSTICS

Today, 23 September, TB Network joins communities and civil society organisations around the world in calling for faster, accessible and accurate TB testing for everyone.

In 2024, an estimated 10.7 million people fell ill with TB, yet 2.4 million people went undetected.

Behind every missed diagnosis is a person who could have received timely treatment and care.

We cannot end TB if people cannot access the tests they need. Nigeria needs stronger national action to expand rapid TB testing and bring testing closer to the communities that need it most.

If you or someone you know has a persistent cough or other symptoms suggestive of TB, don't wait. Call the toll-free 3340 health line for guidance on TB screening and testing services.

🔎 Test early. Know your status. Start treatment. Stop TB.

Together, We Can Build a TB-Free Nigeria. 🇳🇬

On 21 September 2026, TB Network participated in an engagement organised by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Abuja, FCT, as part of activities commemorating the 2026 International Day of Peace.

The 2026 theme, “Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” highlights the importance of inclusion, community engagement, and collective action in building peaceful and resilient communities.

As part of the engagement, TB Network collaborated by sensitising participants on Tuberculosis (TB), sharing information on TB prevention, signs and symptoms, testing, treatment, stigma reduction, and the importance of seeking care early. TB Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials were also distributed to participants.

The FCT Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme (FCT TBLCP) was also present and conducted **TB screening for participants using the PDX machine, further supporting awareness and early detection of TB.

We appreciate the **NSCDC** for organising this important engagement and bringing stakeholders together to promote peace, community well-being, and public health.

Invest in Peace. Promote Health. Strengthen Communities.

BRINGING TB DIAGNOSIS CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE

No one should have to travel long distances or wait too long to know their TB status.

Near Point-of-Care (nPOC) TB diagnostics brings TB testing closer to where people live and access healthcare, helping reduce distance, waiting time, sample transportation delays, and loss to follow-up.

With nPOC, we can support:

📍 Closer access to TB diagnostic services
⏱️ Faster results and earlier treatment
🤝 Better patient experience
🔎 Earlier identification of people with TB
🏥 Improved support for healthcare workers and facilities

The goal is simple: test sooner. Diagnose faster. Start treatment earlier.

🚫 No one should have to travel far or wait too long to know their TB status.

TB diagnosis should not be out of reach.

From 31 August to 1 September 2026, TB Network organized a Two-Day Co-Creation Workshop for the Development of Manuals, Templates, and Guidelines for CBOs Providing Data for the CLM Electronic Platform under the Global Fund RSSH Grant, held at JemmyLand Hotel, Nasarawa.

The workshop brought together members of the ATM NEPWHAN, ACCOMIN, and TB Network alongside key partners from DURE Technologies and IHVN.

Through collaborative discussions and practical sessions, participants contributed to the development of comprehensive, standardised, and user-friendly manuals, templates, and guidelines to support Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) in the effective collection, documentation, verification, management, electronic entry, and submission of Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) data through the designated electronic platform.

This co-creation process represents an important step towards strengthening data quality, improving reporting systems, and ensuring that evidence generated by communities continues to drive advocacy, accountability, and improvements in health service delivery.

Together, we are strengthening community systems, improving data, and advancing accountability for better health outcomes.

Tuberculosis does not have to be a death sentence. We have the tools to prevent TB, diagnose it early, and treat it successfully.

Yet TB continues to affect communities because too many people remain undiagnosed, stigma and fear delay care, and gaps in funding and access continue to hold us back.

We can change this.
