Revolution for
A Better Way

Cepheid’s Global Access program started in 2011 with the vision for equitable access to revolutionary new molecular diagnostics. Today, Cepheid’s Global Access program reaches every corner of the globe impacted by deadly diseases like Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV and Ebola.

“Xpert MTB/RIF moved diagnosis from weeks to hours – enabling patients to be treated far more quickly. We have invested heavily in these innovations and will continue to invest in new products critical to eradicating disease.”

& Technology Officer

Empowering Global Health Solutions

Cepheid’s ongoing commitment to invest and innovate continues to improve the standard of care for communities in low- and middle-income countries. Here is how Cepheid makes a difference:

The Innovation Revolution

Cepheid’s Lab in a Cartridge™ remains a state-of-the-art molecular diagnostics innovation—replacing multiple large laboratory rooms with small cartridge chambers. Cepheid's groundbreaking Xpert MTB/RIF test was the most significant TB diagnostic innovation in nearly a century, and was quickly endorsed by the WHO¹ and heralded by the global community as a game changing diagnostic weapon.

“At a global level, 38% of people newly diagnosed with TB in 2021 were diagnosed with a WHO-recommended diagnostic test, while in 2022, the number rose to 47%. These instruments have been a game-changer.³”

Fostering Partnerships

Cepheid’s technology has played a major role in the foundation of economic recovery across low- and middle-income countries. However, it’s the coordinated efforts of donors, policymakers, governments, NGOs, and national and local health systems that are helping change health initiatives to maximize impact. In fact, a recent health economic analysis found that for every $1 of spend on TB programs the result was $46 in economic impact in country².

“TB is not just a health issue—it is an economic issue, a development issue, and a security issue, and we need strong collaborative efforts from heads of states, private and public sector to really move the needle. We need far more diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. We need more funding, more programs to address barriers to access and more political commitment to help the people who need it most.⁴”

Access and Deployment

With over 20 000 GeneXpert systems installed across HBDC, there isn’t a national algorithm in a high burden country that doesn’t incorporate GeneXpert as the basis of its TB response. In September of 2023, Danaher (Cepheid's parent company) raised the company’s joint commitment to End TB by 2030, delivering all future Xpert MTB Ultra cartridges at cost (no profit). Universally welcomed across National TB Programs globally, this price reduction further expands access to the technology and the overall impact of the Global Access Program.
