According to statistics from the WHO, without proper treatment, 45% of HIV-negative people with TB on average and nearly all HIV-positive people with TB will die.
In many Tuberculosis hotspots, such as Sub-Saharan Africa, there is a lot of pressure on the healthcare system due to a doctor to population ratio of around just 18 medical professionals per 100,000 of the population. This can make it difficult to get an accurate Tuberculosis diagnosis.
With quick, accurate, inexpensive diagnosis, TBDetect can save lives and stop the spread of Tuberculosis by providing volunteer organizations and small hospitals with a helpful diagnostic tool.
We are currently looking for any small hospital or health organization working on fighting Tuberculosis to partner with us to pilot the use of the TBDetect App. Reach out to us at tbdetect@sayffer.com or fill out the contact form.
