Nomadic populations are often isolated and have difficulty accessing health care, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Although Nigeria has one of the highest tuberculosis (TB) burdens in Africa, case detection rates remain relatively low. METHODS: Active case finding for TB among nomadic populations was implemented over a 2-year period in Adamawa State. A total of 378 community screening days were organised with local leaders; community volunteers provided treatment support. MTB/RIF was available for nomads with negative smear results.

The pictures below showcases how our staff and volunteers worked tirelessly for this project in finding our TB cases among the Nomadic Fulanis in Adamawa State, North Eastern Nigeria. During this activity, the people were educated on the TB disease itself and preventive measures.

Additional Publications were also made to showcase and depict the amount of cases found and how solutions can be implemented to prevent further spread of TB among any community.
