This milestone event brings together leading scientists in TB research to reflect on Africa’s growing leadership in tuberculosis research and implementation, while advancing knowledge and strengthening collaboration toward ending TB.

The programme is structured into two key segments:

The event will open with a High-Level Panel Discussion on “Redefining Africa’s Role in TB Research and Practice,” followed by a comprehensive two-hour Technical Masterclass on TB Diagnosis, offering practical and evidence-based learning on:

• TB diagnosis and clinical decision-making
• Chest X-ray interpretation and CAD innovations
• Respiratory and non-respiratory diagnostic approaches
