The COVID-19 pandemic exposed gaps in diagnostic testing capacity worldwide, which disproportionately impact communities in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). A staggering 81% of the population in LMICs don’t have access to many of the most simple diagnostic tests (Lancet, 2021).
Introducing the Let's Test Toolkit
A comprehensive toolkit to support advocacy for improved access to diagnostics around the world.
UNICEF has developed the Let’s Test Toolkit to support individuals and organizations engaged in health advocacy in LMICs with materials informed by global research and global health best practices for advocacy and social behavior change.
What’s in the Toolkit?
The Let’s Test Toolkit provides guides and assets designed to engage and motivate policymakers to prioritise diagnostics and to educate and activate local communities to increase demand for quality testing.
The assets are editable and can be adapted for local language, culture and image relevance.
