Project Background:
Bangladesh continues to be amongst the 30 high TB and drug resistant TB burden countries in the world. The TB laboratory infrastructure of Bangladesh includes 1 National TB Reference Laboratory (NTRL), 5 Regional TB Reference Laboratories (RTRLs), 508+ GeneXpert sites (622 machines), 38 Truenat sites and 1120 designated microscopy centres (DMCs). NTP is already planning to add more WHO recognized Rapid molecular Diagnostics (mWRD) sites. NTP has 40 EQA centres for monitoring external quality assurance (EQA) activities at DMC level
Bangladesh has a low HIV prevalence with HIV testing and Counselling (HTC) services available in 13 districts and a plan to expand the same to other districts with a focus to reach priority population. Additionally, there is a scope of utilization of existing GeneXpert machines for HIV viral load and Hep C as per program needs. This expansion and integration of testing needs adequate planning through diagnostic network analysis and optimization exercise focused towards improving access of HIV and Hep C testing while keeping cost efficiencies in mind. Further, the country has a wide X-ray capacity which can be leveraged for TB diagnosis while effectively utilising them for non-TB lung and other illnesses. An analysis to support understanding of current capacity, access and utilisation of these X-ray services can prove of value to improve disease diagnosis and patient outcomes
