Accessible TB and COVID screening

Accessible TB and COVID screening

Yuexang

I spoke with our project partners and had the opportunity to interview them over Zoom about the work they were doing with Advance Access and Delivery and the Zero TB Initiative in the Durban, Karachi and the Mongolia sites. I was able to learn about the progress they were making on providing greater access to high quality care for treatments ranging from drug addiction to tuberculosis to diabetes to COVID-19 in vulnerable communities during this pandemic. The Mexicali project that I was originally focused on was delayed and I have been getting in touch with our partners there about the new mobile X-ray backpack that has been put into use for TB and COVID screening. I am very grateful for the experiences I had this summer with AA&D and the projects I was able to get involved with.
