Global status of policies and practices for systematic TB screening in high-burden countries
High-TB-burden countries have expanded systematic TB screening, but national data systems for monitoring and evaluation must be strengthened to evaluate systematic screening results. Funding and human resource mobilisation is critical for progress. Artificial intelligence and innovative tools may improve implementation quality, enhancing existing human workforce capacity in the context of limited resources.
