Diagnostics are an essential part of healthcare systems. We need diagnostics to confirm diseases, determine drug resistance, guide and monitor treatment, and for the surveillance of outbreaks. Universal health coverage cannot be achieved without ensuring that people have timely access to quality diagnostic services at all levels of the health system, without experiencing financial hardship.
