The need for continued roll-out and scale-up of molecular technologies including Xpert MTB/RIF to increase testing coverage and to detect cases rapidly and accurately, and to provide universal drug susceptibility testing for all cases at risk has never been clearer. This current training offers comprehensive resources for training with the aim to strengthen laboratory capacity at the local and national level to support the uptake and universal access to TB diagnostics.

The training package is comprised of three major components:
