[PDFlist] Public feedback on "Rapid diagnostic test accessibility considerations: for professional use and self-tests

[Shweta Vandana]

Dear Members,

I hope this email finds you all well.

I am sharing the following information on behalf of the World Health Organization.

As mentioned in December, the Science Division has been working on a document titled "Rapid Diagnostic Test Accessibility Considerations: For Professional Use and Self-Tests". This document aims to provide guidance for manufacturers in developing or adapting diagnostic tests to ensure accessibility for all users.

The draft of this document is now available for public consultation, and feedback is being sought from a wide range of stakeholders, including health experts, public health practitioners, representatives from health ministries or national programs, persons with disabilities, civil society representatives, diagnostics experts, donors, manufacturers, and others.

You can access the draft document and the feedback survey through the following link:
https://www.who.int/news-room/articles-detail/public-consultation-on-who-rapid-diagnostic-test-accessibility-considerations

The deadline for submitting feedback is 11 February 2025. Please feel free to share this with your networks.

Best Regards.
