The World Health Assembly Resolution 76.5 in 2023 formalized the recognition of diagnostic testing capacity as a pillar of global healthcare underpinning any approach to universal health coverage. At the Gates Foundation, we have pivoted to a new strategy for developing and deploying diagnostics in primary care. I will discuss our work on tuberculosis and on cardiovascular disease screening as exemplars of infectious and non-communicable diseases. Professor Kang is a physician scientist working on vaccines and public health, particularly focused on children and enteric infectious disease in India.  She built national rotavirus and typhoid surveillance networks to estimate disease burden, test vaccines and inform policy. Based at the Christian Medical College, Vellore for most of her career and for some time at the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute in Faridabad, she established a strong programme in translational medicine and public health aiming to build a cadre of clinical researchers studying relevant problems in India. In 2023, she joined the Gates Foundation as a Director in the Division of Global Health.
