Project background

According to the World Health Organization s Global TB report 2022, an estimated 10.6 million people fell ill with tuberculosis (TB) in 2021, an increase of 4.5% from 2020, and ~1.6 million people died from TB. The burden of drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) also increased by 3% between 2020 and 2021 with ~450 000 new cases of rifampicin-resistant TB (RR-TB) in 2021. This is the first time in many years that an increase has been reported in the number of people falling ill with TB and drug resistant TB.

TB services were among many others severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, but its impact on the TB response has been particularly severe. There is an urgent need for strategies to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and initiate urgent improvements in formal and community health systems.

WJCF works under the guidance of the Central TB Division (CTD) to implement novel interventions across 15 states to catalyze elimination targets outline in the National TB elimination Program (NTEP). It also lends technical support across a range of thematic areas- strategic planning, data analysis, monitoring and evaluation, patient management and delivery of services. Specifically, under the COVID-19 Response Mechanism (C19RM) of the Global Fund to Fight (GFATM), WJCF is undertaking an active-case finding (ACF) initiative to increase TB detection and address delays in diagnosis and treatment. Recognizing the criticality of chest X-ray as a diagnostic tool, ultraportable handheld chest X-ray machines (dCXR) with integrated Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) artificial intelligence (AI) software for automated interpretation are currently being procured and deployed at identified peripheral health institutes (PHIs) across multiple districts in nine states to generate evidence and demonstrate various use cases for wider adoption and scale-up.

As a next step to ensure the current C19RM intervention is scaled up, WJCF, under the aegis of NTEP and the Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM), will be assisting in procurement of additional dCXR + CAD units to augment current ACF efforts under the NTEP in multiple States and screening infrastructure at the primary health facility level, at key identified peripheral health institutes. As part of this procurement, WJCF shall undertake: a detailed needs assessment for optimal allocation of the units, an RFP and a subsequent proposal evaluation process to identify the right vendor(s) to engage with, and coordination with States to ensure smooth delivery and installation.

Position summary

The d-CXR and CAD-AI Expert will support the Program Director leading the C-19RM + CCM project in procurement of HH X-ray +CAD AI devices. The d-CXR and CAD-AI expert will be a member of the Technical Procurement team and is expected to support in the review of technical specifications, evaluation criteria, and assist the procurement team during on field demonstration by the vendors. Whilst the role can be based remotely, the consultant should be willing to travel to Delhi as per the project requirements.
