REASSURED diagnostics to inform disease control strategies, strengthen health systems and improve patient outcomes	2018-12-13		.txt	text/plain	7423	298	41	For example, as POC technologies for HIV viral load and early infant diagnosis were being developed, there was tremendous emphasis on quality, given the complexity of the test and lessons learned from HIV RDTs. Malaria is estimated to be the cause of at least a million deaths a year worldwide, most of which are in sub-Saharan Africa. Although national TB programmes provide a robust architecture for the implementation of new technologies, challenges associated with the near-POC NAT assay remain as barriers -affordability (molecular assays are device-based and costly, even with subsidy), expertise (more technically demanding than lateral flow RDTs) and sustainability 46 , in addition to power and per-test time. Such tests can only be created by forming strong collaborative partnerships across many disciplinary boundaries, and we look toward a future when data connectivity linking cost-effective ASSURED diagnostics to laboratory systems will form the backbone of health care systems and provide real-time data for evidence-based disease control and prevention strategies, more efficient health systems and improved patient outcomes.	./cache/cord-273324-xhpv783y.txt	./txt/cord-273324-xhpv783y.txt
