Abstract
In the context of the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases following a sudden increase in the use of COVID-19 diagnostic tests in several countries within and outside of the Americas Region, the Pan American Health Organization / World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) recommends Member States to take appropriate measures for the rational use of diagnostic tests and thus ensure their provision for both surveillance and medical care.
 
En el contexto actual caracterizado por un rápido aumento del número de casos de COVID-19, y el consecuente aumento abrupto del consumo de pruebas diagnósticas, observado en varios países dentro y fuera de nuestra Región, la Organización Panamericana de la Salud / Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) recomienda a los Estados Miembros extremar las medidas para hacer un uso racional de las pruebas diagnósticas y así asegurar la provisión de las mismas tanto para la vigilancia como la atención médica.
