The critical pathway for introduction of new TB diagnostics in African countries can be expedited if dossiers are complete, if local vendors are appointed, and with WHO PQ.

Our health systems lead & managing director are at @theunion.org presenting our work, available here: www.tbdxcriticalpath.org

Understanding processes and timelines for in-country registration, inclusion into policy, implementation, and M&E, will help to accelerate rollout and uptake of these essential new tools and find hard-to-reach populations.

New TB diagnostics that are more accessible are upon us.

On 28-29th October 2025 in Abuja, we worked with the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health and partners to co-develop the Critical Path Analysis for novel TB diagnostics, mapping processes, actors and timelines for uptake & scale up.

We’re delighted to welcome Dr Kathleen England to the Matahari team! 🎉 She joins us as Associate Consultant in Infectious Disease Diagnostics & Emergency Preparedness. We’re thrilled to have her on board as we continue advancing equitable global health solutions across Africa, Asia, and beyond. 🌍

Next generation TB tests return results much quicker and are easier to use. But complex regulatory systems may delay introduction. Our health systems lead Marguerite Massinga Loembé will be presenting the results from our critical path analysis project at The Union World Conference in Copenhagen. 👇🏽

We were pleased to support work to develop a toolkit for Community-Led Monitoring in Pandemic Preparedness and Response. Data from communities, whether it’s on key access to medicines gaps or on unexplained animal deaths, can help PPPR interventions move quicker.

Our Principal Consultant spoke about key findings from our work supporting Africa CDC to develop a Health Workforce Compact today at the G20 Health working group.

🚨 Urgent investments needed for development of specialist expertise and for infrastructure that can encourage rural retention.

YouTube video by Matahari Global Solutions Gender in Public Health Emergencies

Gender must be factored into public health emergency planning at the outset, not as an afterthought.

In our new short 🎬, we hear from Nafisat, a community health worker from Nigeria, Gisma & Nadia, Sudanese refugees displaced by war, & Erina, a trans woman from Malaysia.

Matahari has been proud to support the development of work on the African Union Health Workforce Compact, including three regional consultations with Member States. In December 2024, we will be finalising the Baseline Report and Compact document towards more coordinated efforts across the continent.

Hello, BlueSky! Looking forward to sharing our work across global health, including in health workforce, access to medicines and diagnostics, and decolonisation in global health.
