This session will respond to common programmatic, clinical, and scientific questions raised in previous discussions, with a focus on Xpert MTB Ultra, adoption of MTB/XDR, reflex testing workflows, reduction of unsuccessful results, and interpretation of results to support timely clinical action.
Participants will also hear Uganda’s implementation experience and practical lessons for strengthening Xpert testing algorithms, improving reflex testing performance, and maximizing the clinical and programmatic impact of MTB/XDR testing.
