Abstract / Description of output

As COVID-19 expands its global reach, Africa is the next frontier for the pandemic. Across the world, increasing testing capacity has taken centre stage in government and international agendas. Yet new diagnostic devices are only effective insofar as they can be integrated into the broader health system and supported by continuous supply chains, trained medical staff and closely aligned information systems.
