COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE WEBINARS

As the global HIV response evolves, many countries are shifting from donor-supported programs to nationally led efforts. This transition presents a valuable opportunity to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of rapid diagnostic testing, while maintaining high standards of quality. Programs are increasingly focused on optimizing resources, integrating services, and aligning quality assurance with broader health system goals.

Site supervision is critical for ensuring quality testing, particularly in point-of-care (POC) rapid diagnostic testing. Traditionally, site supervision checklists at POC have been tailored to specific diseases and have been lacking with some diseases. This limits their adaptability across different pathogens.

In the inaugural August 2025 RTCQI CoP Session, there will be key presentations from Nigeria and Myanmar highlighting how they have been able to implement and expand HIV Proficiency Testing to meet evolving needs of HIV diagnosis and to ensure the sustainability of these programs within their countries.
