People are not going for the testing because they are not well
aware & well informed
Leaving us one step behind the epidemic
Accessibility and utilization of the testing service has remained a
challenge
Stigma is putting people away from knowing their status
Testing advocacy, testing literacy & community preparedness is
missing
New testing approach is needed to reach the unreached people
Bring closer to people
Thank You
