Resumen
En un contexto de pandemia global a causa del virus SARS-CoV2, en Argentina —país semiperiférico— se desplegaron esfuerzos de coordinación de política sanitaria, productiva y tecnológica para la provisión de productos esenciales, como los kits de diagnóstico rápido. En este artículo nos enfocamos en el papel que desempeña Argentina frente a la pandemia mundial en el desarrollo de tests de diagnóstico para la enfermedad de COVID-19. En particular, nos centramos en el desarrollo local de dos test rápidos, Neokit y Ela-Chemstrip. A través de la evidencia empírica que constituyen estos dos casos, podemos sostener que un país semiperiférico, como Argentina, cuenta con las capacidades productivas y tecnológicas suficientes para generar desarrollos locales en el área de salud humana, por lo que puede aspirar a una política “orientada por misiones” que logre sistematizar, complementar y escalar los esfuerzos públicos y privados.
