Power cuts threatened TB diagnosis in Zambia. Now, a new generation of battery-powered near-point-of-care (NPOC) tests is helping bring diagnosis closer to communities, even where electricity is unreliable.
With support from @GlobalFund & partners, nearly 3 million tests will be delivered across 13 countries, saving many lives by helping more people get diagnosed earlier & begin treatment faster.

« Le silence ne fait pas avancer les choses. »
Telle est la devise d’un centre communautaire du Mozambique, où un réseau de travailleuses et travailleurs de proximité aide les personnes souvent victimes de stigmatisation et d’abus à accéder à des services de santé vitaux et à une protection juridique.
Le centre aide également à garantir que les nouveaux outils de prévention du VIH, y compris le lénacapavir injectable administré deux fois par an, soient bien compris, inspirent confiance et soient accessibles.
