Integrated diagnostics is an essential strategy for delivering cost-effective, people-centered health services. Tuberculosis services present an entry point for integration through optimized testing, sample referral, staffing, and procurement, while enabling access at primary health care. For these strategies to succeed, they must be grounded in a systems-based approach that considers diagnostic networks and patient pathways. In this session, Dr. Willy Ssengooba shared practical lessons from Uganda on how leveraging existing Truenat technology strengthened the country’s mpox response. Mr. Ganiyu Agboola showed how integrating TB services into primary health care and universal health coverage in Nigeria reduced patient costs and improved outcomes, and Dr. Jérémie Piton of Unitaid highlighted funding priorities and financing strategies to advance integrated diagnostics.
