Key Considerations and Strategies for Strengthening COVID-19 Diagnostics Supply Chains in Low- and Middle-Income Country Settings
The demand for COVID-19 diagnostics has exploded with the global impact of the pandemic, though this demand for diagnostics, reagents, and consumables for COVID-19 is causing shortages of commodities worldwide. These challenges have considerable impact on low- and middle-income countries which are significantly resource constrained and lack the political clout or relative buying power to secure supplies.

Key Considerations and Strategies for Strengthening COVID-19 Diagnostics Supply Chains in Low-Middle Income Country Settings outlines the major challenges and potential mitigation strategies to support Low- and Middle-Income Countries in securing access to appropriate, quality assured, and adequate COVID-19 diagnostics.
