Welcome to the summer edition of Diagnostics in Healthcare. In this issue, we shine a spotlight on the incredible potential of in vitro diagnostics and on how, at a time of significant advances in science and technology, removal of barriers to the adoption of innovative IVDs, such as silo budgeting, would help improve outcomes for patients in a highly cost-effective manner. We also explore the vital role of IVD tests in achieving universal health coverage and in delivering high-quality health care.
