Advancing Near Point-of-Care (nPOC) TB Diagnostic Services Through Stakeholder Engagement

Access to timely and quality TB diagnosis is critical to ending tuberculosis in Nigeria.

TB Network Nigeria recently engaged key stakeholders, including the Institute of Human Virology Nigeria (IHVN) and the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM), to advocate for the strengthening of Near Point-of-Care (nPOC) TB diagnostic services across the country.

The discussions focused on:
✅ Expanding access to community-level TB diagnostic services
✅ Promoting equitable and affordable TB testing
✅ Strengthening partnerships for sustainable TB control
✅ Supporting policies that improve early TB detection and quality care

By bringing diagnostic services closer to communities, we can reduce delays in diagnosis, improve treatment outcomes, and save more lives.

Together, we can build a Nigeria where no one is left behind in the fight against TB.

TB Network Calls for Stronger Protection of the Rights of People Affected by Tuberculosis

On the 25th of June 2026, TB Network participated in the Public Hearing organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Infectious Diseases, where our National Coordinator, Akanni Olayide, and Zonal Programme Manager, Cecilia Kafran, presented a memorandum in support of the proposed **TB Anti-Discrimination Bill.

As Nigeria's umbrella network of over 600 civil society organisations working to end tuberculosis, we welcomed this important legislation and proposed key recommendations to strengthen the Bill.

Our recommendations include:
✔️ Increased domestic investment in TB services
✔️ Inclusion of near point-of-care TB diagnostics
✔️ Linking people affected by TB to existing social protection programmes

Every person affected by TB deserves dignity, equal opportunities, and protection from stigma and discrimination.

Together, we can build a Nigeria where no one is left behind because of tuberculosis.

Read the full memorandum below to explore TB Network's detailed recommendations for strengthening the proposed legislation and protecting the rights and dignity of people affected by TB.http://tbnetworkng.org/blogpost/Memorandum.pdf
