Results achieved as of May 2023 include: (1) procured 193 million tests through the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator Diagnostics Consortium for Lower-Middle Income Countries; and (2) reduced COVID-19 test pricing. This includes reducing the polymerase chain reaction test price from US$20-30, to less than $10 per test, and quality-assured rapid diagnostic tests from more than US$5 to less than US$1.
