Great progress has been made in the Western Pacific region in the fight against tuberculosis (TB), but we still have work to do to ensure everyone benefits. People living in remote areas with limited access to healthcare face unique challenges.
Exciting new health technologies could make a big difference. One of these innovations is the mini portable x-ray machine, powered by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) software. These machines are perfect for the tough conditions often found in the Pacific, where TB is a major issue. In these areas, populations are spread across distant islands, access to healthcare is limited, and there’s a shortage of highly trained healthcare professionals.
