Our strategy Our current strategic period started in 2021, setting out our vision and goals to achieve testing for healthy and safe lives.
ACT-Accelerator We co-convene the diagnostics pillar of this global collaboration to ensure access to COVID-19 tests for everyone, everywhere.
Self-testing Self-testing and self-sampling can support equitable access to testing to everyone, regardless of their location or social status.
100 Days Mission A plan for the world to be able to respond to and extinguish the global threat of the next Disease X within 100 days of WHO declaring a major outbreak or pandemic.
Press release FIND and the Helmsley Charitable Trust partner to improve access to continuous glucose self-monitoring devices in Kenya and South Africa
DxConnect Tools and resources provided under the DxConnect umbrella contain information managed and collated – but not owned – by FIND, as a service to the diagnostics community.
Data for decisions Diagnostics provide critical information for healthcare professionals, decision-makers, and people living with diseases and health conditions.
The diagnostic journey From R&D to implementation, the diagnostic value chain can be thought of as a journey of interconnected steps, or a "virtuous cycle".
Diagnostics Commission The Lancet Commission on diagnostics was published in 2021, putting forward recommendations to accelerate and transform access to diagnostics globally.
