FIND is a Product Development and Implementation Partnership (PDIP) devoted to developing and implementing diagnostic tools for poverty-related diseases.

An independent non-profit foundation based in Geneva with offices in Uganda and India, FIND focuses on a disease portfolio covering tuberculosis, malaria and human African trypanosomiasis. In its commitment to develop technologies that can be used as near as possible to where patients first seek care, FIND has accumulated an impressive pipeline of new diagnostic technologies.

As of today, FIND has obtained endorsement from WHO for four new tuberculosis technologies which are currently being scaled up in over 27 countries. FIND's latest approach is targeted at extending technology platforms to the other diseases in its portfolio, namely, sleeping sickness and malaria.

To ensure successful implementation of new technologies in high-burden countries, FIND is also engaged in a laboratory strengthening program to establish quality-assured facilities.

FIND has active collaborations with over 100 partners, including Ministries of Health, bilateral and multilateral organizations (such as WHO), research institutes/academia, commercial partners, NGOs and clinical trial sites.

Current donors include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the European Union, the Government of the Netherlands, UNITAID, DfID and others.
