Impact of a borderless sample transport network for scaling up viral load monitoring: results of a geospatial optimization model for Zambia.

CONCLUSIONS: An efficient STN that optimizes sample transport on the basis of geography and test volume, rather than political boundaries, can cut the cost of sample transport by more than half, providing a cost savings opportunity for countries that face significant resource constraints.
