Collaboration on essential diagnostics
WHO and the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) have established a formal collaboration on universal access to essential diagnostics. Announced on 10 February, the aim of the collaboration is to close diagnostic gaps at country level and bolster disease surveillance that will inform public health initiatives and enhance outbreak preparedness and response.
Accurate and timely diagnosis is critical to achieving universal health coverage, but can be a weak link in the delivery of health services. This is especially true in primary healthcare settings in low- and middle-income countries.
