Comparison of smear microscopy and GeneXpert diagnostic coverage in level 2 (L2) public sector facilities. L2 public sector facilities (mostly dispensaries) are the most common location where patients initiate their care-seeking journey. Nationally, only 19% of these facilities have microscopy available, and 17% are connected to other facilities for referral to undergo Xpert testing. This visual compares the diverse levels of microscopy coverage and Xpert system or referral coverage among these facilities at the county level. aFor each county, data reflect the variable (systems or referrals) with the greatest level of coverage.
