Organization: FIND, the global diagnostic alliance, is a global non-profit organization based in Geneva, Switzerland, driving innovation in the development and delivery of diagnostics to combat major diseases affecting the world’s poorest populations. Our vision is a world where diagnosis guides the way to health for all people. With priorities aligned to those of the global public health community, we turn complex diagnostic challenges into simple solutions through unique partnerships with the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Our work bridges Research and Development (R&D) to Access—we have deep technical and practical experience in needs assessments, development of fit- for-purpose products, evidence generation for regulators and policy makers through clinical trials and other studies, analysis of market dynamics, introduction of new products, capacity development to strengthen laboratory systems and manufacturing, and advocacy to expand access.
