As presented in our recent webinar on AI for TB screening in Francophone Africa, Niger’s ReCAM project demonstrates the measurable impact of digital innovation in tuberculosis (TB) control.
From 2023 through early 2025, more than 7,260 new TB cases were diagnosed across five regions using mobile screening and CAD4TB-enabled X-ray analysis. These represented over 22 percent of all national TB notifications in early 2025.
The strategy focused on high-risk populations in Niamey, including residents of informal settlements, migrants, refugees, and incarcerated individuals—groups often underserved by conventional healthcare systems.
By combining field-ready imaging solutions with real-time AI analysis, the ReCAM project closed critical detection gaps and reduced Niger’s missing TB cases by more than half since 2020.
