WCLH 2025 Concludes Successfully in Copenhagen

WCLH 2025 has come to a close in Copenhagen. Over the past few days, Pluslife team met colleagues from programmes, laboratories, and communities to exchange views on TB diagnosis, near-POC molecular testing, and tongue swab–based sampling in real-world settings.

At the booth, we shared experience with the MiniDock MTB Test and, more importantly, listened to feedback on how near-POC tools might fit into different countries’ systems and levels of care. Across symposia, oral abstracts, late-breaker sessions, and side events, partners and independent teams presented work on tongue swab workflows, near-POC platforms, and real-world implementation, including several studies featuring the Pluslife MiniDock MTB Test.

Thank you to International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union), the organisers, and everyone who stopped by, joined a session, or shared implementation insights with us. These conversations will guide our next steps as we work with partners in high-burden and under-served settings.
