The Leprosy and Tuberculosis Relief Initiative (LTR), through its ASA Health Partners and in collaboration with YOSACA, is currently conducting a targeted tuberculosis (TB) screening exercise among children aged 0–10 years in Sabon Gari, Nangere Local Government Area of Yobe State.
This focused intervention aims to bridge the persistent gap in pediatric TB case detection by proactively identifying undiagnosed cases, facilitating early diagnosis, and ensuring prompt linkage to treatment and care for affected children.
In high-burden settings where children remain disproportionately underserved due to diagnostic challenges and limited access to healthcare services, this initiative underscores LTR’s commitment to strengthening community-level responses, promoting equitable access to care, and advancing efforts toward ending TB.
A Press Release by the Media and Communication Officer, Leprosy and Tuberculosis Relief Initiative LTR Nigeria Saleh Gagarawa, stressed that through strategic partnerships and community-driven implementation, LTR continues to deliver impactful interventions that ensure no child is left behind in the fight against tuberculosis.
