The Global Fund and other partners began rolling out PlusLife MiniDock Ultra systems across 13 countries, supported by $50 million from the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation. The initiative is designed to expand near point-of-care tuberculosis testing capacity and accelerate access to diagnostic results outside traditional lab settings. The program centers on deployment of MiniDock Ultra systems, positioned to support timely detection workflows in high-burden regions. It reflects continued donor-backed investment in decentralized diagnostics infrastructure for TB, where delays in testing can slow treatment decisions. The rollout begins with the 13-country focus area, with the funding package reflecting a coordinated approach between major health funders and implementing stakeholders.
