How Roche and (RED) are Working Together to Expand Access to Testing

August 22, 2024
Partnership

Since 2020, Roche and (RED) have worked together to raise awareness about the importance of diagnostics and testing in the global fight against preventable and treatable disease. 

Preventable disease continues to heavily burden health systems, communities, and economies, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. While decades of investment have enabled these countries to build stronger healthcare systems, including better laboratories and trained healthcare professionals, more attention is needed to close the gaps in access to diagnostics and care.

Each diagnostic test reflects years of investment in research, policy, advocacy, infrastructure, and capacity building, therefore healthcare financing remains a top priority to achieve universal health coverage. Through engaging content and interactive experiences, the (RED) and Roche partnership continues to emphasize the need for ongoing investment in diagnostics, which is vital to ensuring that everybody has access to care, regardless of location.

When someone gains access to testing, they not only know their status but can also access the right treatment to thrive and help prevent the further spread of disease. We’re so grateful to Roche for their continued support and for helping (RED) show the world how access to reliable testing can strengthen communities and help combat preventable and treatable disease.

If you can’t test, you can’t treat and you can’t save lives.
