The Critical Role of Diagnostics in COVID-19 Management


The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unprecedented health and economic challenges globally. Development and rollout of vaccines has understandably become the focal point of most countries to decrease the mortality rates and control the spread of disease. However, supplementing vaccine roll-out with effective testing approaches remains essential to control transmission, survey transmission rate, and monitor vaccine efficacy. Likewise, testing remains a critical tool to support with the identification of hotspots within communities, to reopen economies and to resume travel.


Join us for the launch of APACMed's latest paper, The Critical Role of Diagnostics in COVID-19 Management, in which we will discuss testing strategies and technologies being used to confront various pandemic scenarios and challenges, and evaluate new imperatives in testing to contain COVID-19 spread, reduce the risk of case resurgence, allow the re-opening of economies, and support the vaccine rollout.
