Facility-based screening for TB in pregnant and post-partum women in Papua New Guinea

Systematic screening (including radiology and GeneXpert testing) of women attending antenatal clinics, delivery wards, or postpartum clinics effectively improves TB case detection. Integration of routine TB screening with peri-partum care supports timely linkage to TB care and treatment, thereby reducing risk of poor outcomes for mothers and their families.
