Programmatic implications of implementing the relational algebraic capacitated location (RACL) algorithm outcomes on the allocation of laboratory sites, test volumes, platform distribution and space requirements
Introduction: CD4 testing in South Africa is based on an integrated tiered service delivery model that matches testing demand with capacity.The National Health Laboratory Service has predominantly implemented laboratory-based CD4 testing.Coverage gaps, over-/under-capacitation and optimal placement of point-of-care (POC) testing sites need investig
