The Center for Global Health Policy’s “Science Speaks” blog reports on a Capitol Hill briefing last week that examined “how progress in diagnostic technology is accelerating progress against HIV, TB, malaria, and other emerging infectious diseases.” Noting the briefing was sponsored by CDC and AdvaMedDx, the blog quotes Thomas Kenyon and Beth Bell of the CDC, AdvaMedDx Executive Director Andy Fisher, and Todd Summers of the Center for Strategic and International Studies about the need for advancements in diagnostic technology and highlights the CDC’s goal “to develop an advanced molecular detection program” (Aziz, 12/11).

The KFF Daily Global Health Policy Report summarized news and information on global health policy from hundreds of sources, from May 2009 through December 2020. All summaries are archived and available via search.
