Suubi Trust will contribute GBP (£) 12,000 this month to help International Medical Foundation develop a level 2 bio-containment facility at International Hospital Kampala to provide a MODS TB culture and sensitivity service.
This facility will be used to:
- Provide TB culture and sensitivity testing at cost price – currently estimated at USD5 per test
- Train Ugandan technical staff to work in, manage and set up TB diagnostic centres
- Establish a consultancy program to promote best practice in TB diagnostic services at District level throughout East Africa
You can learn more about this initiative and TB in Africa by downloading the Project Summary or reading other TB related postings.
