UNITAID seeking letters of intent to promote uptake of diagnostic technologies

Call for letters of intent on the topic of diagnostics for HIV, tuberculosis and malaria

Following a decision by its Board, UNITAID has issued a call for letters of intent on the topic of diagnostics for HIV, tuberculosis and malaria.

With this move, the UNITAID Board has recognized the critical role diagnostics play in increasing access to quality treatment for people living in low-income or low-middle-income countries with a high burden of these diseases.

Letters of intent should target effective and accelerated scale-up of diagnostic technologies that are of high quality and are affordable and acceptable to allow the maximum number of people, especially those in vulnerable groups, to access them. Letters should be submitted to letterofintentunitaid@who.int and must be received by WHO/UNITAID by 17:00 Geneva time (GMT+1) on Tuesday 20 September 2011.
