TB Diagnostic Pathway and Diagnostic Tracker
GLI recently announced the release of the TB Diagnostic Pathway, a common good resource for the TB community. This is a site to help innovators develop their research idea. The initiative will help with standardisation of research, commercialisation and roll-out.
TB Diagnotic Pathway is complemented by the TB Diagnostic Pipeline Tracker, hosted by FIND, which maps the status of diverse TB diagnostic solutions.
We urge you to visit the site and share innovative ideas.
