A tuberculosis laboratory system assessment has been conducted in June 2017 by Arnaud Orelle in Niger. By assessing both the National Reference Laboratory for Tuberculosis, a sampling from various laboratories within the countries (from all levels, from regional to peripheral), as well as a detailed system assessment, many recommendations could be provided to the main actors and partners for Tuberculosis surveillance and diagnosis in Niger to strengthen their TB laboratory system.
This project was funded by the World Health organization (WHO).
