Optimizing viral load testing access for the last mile: Geospatial cost model for point of care instrument placement
INTRODUCTION: Viral load (VL) monitoring programs have been scaled up rapidly, but are now facing the challenge of providing access to the most remote facilities (the “last mile”). For the hardest-to-reach facilities in Zambia, we compared the cost of placing point of care (POC) viral load instrumen...
