FIND is an international non-profit organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organization is dedicated to activities that result in: 1) new diagnostic tools; 2) expanded access to these tools; and 3) strengthened diagnostic testing capacity for poverty-related diseases in low- and middle-income countries.
In 2016, FIND and Ministry of Health (MOH) Georgia signed an MOU through the National Centers for Disease Control (NCDC) to establish a partnership aiming to remove diagnostic barriers that prevent the country from scaling up hepatitis care and supporting global HCV prevention, care, and treatment goals.

This will be done as a demonstration study.
