Situation in 2004
• No new TB tests in public sector for many years
• No WHO approval mechanism
• No dedicated laboratory strengthening initiative
• No mechanism to link policy change to scaled-
up implementation
• No DEC pricing mechanism for existing tools
• No public sector platform for discovery and
development of new TB tests
Situation in 2008
• Multiple new TB tests in public sector use
• WHO approval mechanism established
• Global laboratory initiative established/Maputo
declaration
• UNITAID, PEPFAR, GFATM funding scale-up
• Negotiated pricing in place
• Multiple discovery and development activities
led or partnered with the public sector
