Advancing Diagnostics: How DNO Can Help Tackle Global Health Challenges at the 77th World Health Assembly

Maximizing Global Health – Foreign Policy

Diagnostic network optimization (DNO) has been a topic of discussion in the healthcare community for some time. One year after a landmark resolution on strengthening diagnostics, experts will gather to discuss pressing health challenges and how DNO can help address them.

Fragmented supply chains and market barriers are just some of the challenges facing low- and middle-income countries when it comes to accessing diagnostics. Enduring threats like HIV, tuberculosis, emerging infectious diseases, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) require accurate and rapid diagnostic tests for effective treatment and care. However, data collected during DNO assessments often goes underutilized, hindering progress.

The 77th World Health Assembly will convene in Geneva on May 30th to discuss these challenges and how DNO can help overcome them. Join Foreign Policy and Cepheid for an event that aims to advance the conversation on diagnostics. Learn how unlocking DNO insights can enhance pathogen detection, strengthen global health systems, achieve universal health coverage, and combat AMR.
