Roger Osayende, a previous management consultant, must recommend the Ministry of Health of Ektu, a fictional nation in Central Africa, on how to perform a brand new point-of-care diagnostic test for babies with HIV. In Ektu, moms often transmitted HIV infection to infants during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding due to deficient resources to invest in prevention efforts.
This procedure was characterized by significant delays as a result of long transportation times, batching of samples in transport and processing in the lab, and concomitant blockage in the laboratory. This postponement consequently led loss to follow-up, that is, lost patients due to moms not amassing their infants' results. A new point-of-care apparatus was going to be introduced, which would obviate the need for the resulting diagnostic delay and this centered processing. The key conclusion under reflection is where to place the strategy to exploit their efficiency.
