    Description

    A thematic platform targeting the improvement of laboratory diagnostic services across sub-Saharan Africa. This is a partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation under the External Investment Plan (EIP). The platform can target private or public sector, depending on the country of implementation.

    Objectives

    The aim of African Health Diagnostics Platform (AHDP) is to significantly improve access and quality of laboratory and diagnostic services for low-income populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, AHDP contributes to better clinical decision-making, treatment decisions, and quality of care. AHDP will increase access to high-quality, cost-effective laboratory diagnostics in the public health sector (government-owned facilities and community health care) by enabling partnerships between governments and private sector laboratory and diagnostic companies. Improving diagnostic services through ADHP can also help with the detection of and response to novel outbreaks (in particular COVID-19, but also Ebola, Marburg, Lassa fever, meningitis, etc.).
