To manage effectively the #COVID19 pandemic response, access to affordable and high-quality rapid antigen tests is essential. In South-East Asia, local pharmacies play an important role in providing rapid tests and testing advice to communities, due to their long opening hours, easy access, and provision of fast and efficient services. To help increase the availability and access of rapid tests in pharmacies in Viet Nam, together with SwipeRx we tested the potential of a digital network of pharmacy professionals. The programme included digital engagement and education to raise awareness of the benefits of quality assured #rapidtests included in the World Health Organization Emergency Use Listing, in-pharmacy materials to increase client demand, and linking pharmacies with commercial suppliers of approved tests. In just three months, the proportion of pharmacies stocking at least one test included in the WHO Emergency Use Listing significantly increased in Viet Nam as a result of our programme.
