Target 1.1 - Provision and regulation of clinical microbiology services
Provision of reliable, quality-assured, safe and fully-accessible clinical diagnostic microbiology services is a prerequisite for adequate case ascertainment and surveillance/threat notification systems.
Target 1.2. Diagnostic testing guidelines
Availability of national primary diagnostic and screening testing guidelines (e.g. who to test, how to test, and when to test) is a prerequisite to guarantee sufficient sensitivity for case ascertainment and surveillance/threat notification systems.
Target 1.3. Diagnostic testing utilisation
Awareness of national testing practices provides a basis for monitoring sensitivity of case ascertainment and surveillance/notification systems.
