small labs in Africa
Philippe Duneton
Deputy Executive Director
17 June 2013
Long term goal of the
Global Health Community
• HIV/AIDS
– GOAL: Reaching 15 million
people with ARVs by 2015
WHO New 2013 Guidelines
– CD4: 500 cells/mm3 from 350
– FDCs – 1 pill a day (Tenofovir based)
– Patient monitoring

Low access to HIV treatment: Only 9 million of 25 million
people in need are now on ART

Monitoring diagnostics
CD4 Viral Load
Early Infant Diagnostics
• Large modern laboratories
• Sophisticated equipment
• Highly trained staff
Nyumbani, Karen, Kenya
• Benefit: High volume
• 4,500 tests a months
• Samples need to be
transported
• Result returned to patient
Pediatric University Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia

The reality of low
resource settings
• Limitation in health infrastructure
District Hospital, Meconta, Mozambique
– Crowded facilities
– Basic laboratory facilities
– Irregular power and water supply
• Limitation in human resources
– Few doctors
– Health workers with limited training
carry out most consultations
Kiboga Referral Hospital, Uganda
Quality, simple to use
diagnostic and medicines
are needed to assure rapid
effective treatment

Point of care testing
• Small devices
• Easy to use outside
central laboratories
• Rapid results
• Back up power supply
• HIV patient
monitoring
– CD4
– Viral Load
– Early Infant Diagnosis

Benefits to Patients
•
•
•
•
•
Ideal for resource limited
settings
– both urban and rural
Decreases turn-around time
– results available on same day
Improves patient outcomes
– prompt treatment
Reduces loss to follow up
– no need to return for results
Reduces workload of the central laboratory
