A research consortium for the early detection and integrated management of tuberculosis in Europe.

Our aim is to contribute to the ultimate elimination of tuberculosis in the EU by utilising evidenced based interventions to ensure early diagnosis, improve integrated care and support community and prison outreach activities in low and high-incidence countries.

Outreach for Early Diagnosis

The World Health Organization recommends systematic screening for active TB in high risk subpopulations that have poor access to health care. E-DETECT TB’s ultimate objective is to improve early diagnosis in these populations.
