IMPAACT4C19

Improving Public Health Outcomes through Enhancing Accelerated Access to Care and Treatment Innovation for COVID-19

IMPAACT4C19 Consortium is led by The Aurum Institute in partnership with KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation, Clinton Health Access Initiative and Treatment Action Group. It aims to improve access to COVID-19 related quality and affordable diagnostic and therapeutic tools in 5 countries through policy and regulatory support, technical support to ministries of health, supply chain and procurement assistance, and demand generation in communities. During grant implementation, evidence will be generated to support scale-up and further catalytic uptake in existing countries and beyond.
