Outcomes of TB screening of immigrants using AI-enabled digital X-rays at the Lagos-Abidjan corridor

The use of AI-enabled digital X-rays during the flag-off TB screening campaign at the Lagos-Abidjan corridor is relevant for reaching mobile, high-risk populations. Integrating digital tools with W4SS enhances TB case finding, reduces the incidence of missing TB cases and promotes cross-border collaboration. This model is scalable for broader regional implementation across similar mobile communities.
