Community-wide TB screening has proven population-level impact, but funding gaps remain a major barrier. At #WCLH2025, Luan Vo discussed why building a strong investment case is essential, the innovative financing sources available, and real examples of new funding models.

Andrew Codlin shared #Start4All findings from Vietnam at #WCLH2025. Pooled #TB testing can cut workloads by up to 60%, yet often misses people with low-grade TB disease. Savings from this testing approach must be reinvested to screen more people. @LSTMnews @StopTB @UNITAID

Dr. Han Nguyen presented an abstract on FujiLAM, a non-invasive urine-based test for TB, at #WCLH2025. 🧪Because it uses urine instead of sputum, FujiLAM could be especially helpful for people who struggle to cough up samples or have HIV-associated TB.

Luan Vo shared early results from the first subnational TB prevalence survey in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, revealing a higher TB burden than previously reported. The study demonstrates that subnational surveys are feasible and critical for monitoring progress toward ending TB.

Global funding for TB remains far below what’s needed – we need innovative, sustainable financing. At #UnionConf2025, Luan Vo shared how domestic-driven funding models can power long-term investment in TB programs and research – helping the world stay on track to #EndTB.

📷 At #UnionConf2025, Dr. Han Nguyen shared results on PortNAT TB. Early results suggest that while PortNAT may have potential as a supplementary rapid test in certain settings, substantial refinement is still needed before it can be considered for wider use.
