With poor access to diagnostics and treatment due to centralized healthcare systems, hypertension and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain a growing contributor to the health burden in Africa. Market Access Africa explains how promoting affordable point-of-care diagnostic technologies (POCTs), integrating them into primary healthcare to facilitate faster diagnosis and treatment, can empower individuals, enhance healthcare access, and ultimately reduce the burden of NCDs in Africa, ensuring more equitable and effective health systems.
