The National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory (NTRL) in Eswatini has transformed its public health response through the deployment of Starlink high-speed internet. This upgrade has reduced genome sequencing turnaround times from several weeks to under seven days, enhancing both the efficiency and accuracy of TB diagnostics and surveillance. Supported by the Gates Foundation, in collaboration with Africa CDC and ASLM, this initiative highlights the transformative power of digital connectivity in strengthening genomic surveillance across Africa.
