With 552 new cases of tuberculosis (TB) per 100,000 people per year, Mozambique is among the 14 countries globally with the highest estimated incidence of TB; however, Mozambique has one of the lowest case-detection rates in the world, identifying only 45% of all estimated cases of TB, well below the World Health Organization (WHO) target of 70%. In Mozambique, as in other low-income countries, missed cases of TB have been attributed in part to difficulties transporting TB samples quickly and appropriately. A secure referencing system of biological samples from the periphery health facilities to referral labs at the district/provincial/central level is crucial to ensure access to Tuberculosis (TB) tests with timely and reliable results within the diagnostic network. Sputum spillage of 6% is a challenge faced during sputum referral and transportation system in Zambezia Province in Mozambique. Is common that samples are packed in inappropriate closed boxes, resulting in spillover and loss with high biological risk of possible primary TB transmission.

In Mozambique, as in other low-income countries, missed cases of TB have been attributed in part to difficulties transporting TB samples quickly and appropriately. A secure referencing system of biological samples from the periphery health facilities to referral labs at the district/provincial/central level is crucial to ensure access to Tuberculosis (TB) tests with timely and reliable results within the diagnostic network. Sputum spillage of 6% is a challenge faced during sputum referral and transportation system in Zambezia Province in Mozambique.
