🎉 Microbiology Wet Lab Trainings in Bihar are ongoing!

The first session on 3 April was a success and included speakers from our many collaborators. Their insights emphasized the critical role of such training in improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

At the US HHS #G20 listening session today, Kristie Mikus, DrPH urged the US to take actions to strengthen R&D, including investing in:
🧪 FIND's 100 Days Mission for diagnostics
💉CEPI' 100DM strategy for vaccines
🧫Initiatives to address #AMR like CARB-X & Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership (GARDP)

❗ Check out our new report, 'Willingness to Pay Survey for Continuous Glucose Monitoring Devices in South Africa and Kenya'! There is an urgent need for manufacturers to adjust pricing structures, making CGMs more accessible to those who need them most.

🌍 With CUIDA-Chagas we're scaling up access to diagnosis, treatment & care for Chagas disease. Through our partnership we provide essential technical support, while also working on market shaping & supply chain research to ensure equitable access for all. #WorldChagasDay

Today is #WorldChagasDay - this year's theme is 'Tackling Chagas disease: detect early & care for life'

Chagas is treatable when caught early, but if left undiagnosed, it can become life-threatening. That's why timely detection is essential.

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance UNICEF FIND GTFCC Secretariat Cholera is an acute intestinal infection that spreads through food and water contaminated with faeces containing the bacterium Vibrio cholerae.

The rise in #cholera cases is driven by continued gaps in access to safe water and sanitation, and failure to quickly detect outbreaks

📢 Good news: The first batch of over 9,500 #cholera tests has arrived in Malawi, vital to curb outbreaks and optimize vaccinations.

UNICEF and partners are working to boost cholera surveillance with more diagnostic tests on the way to countries in need.

🌍On World Health Day, let's unite for a crucial cause: ensuring everyone, everywhere has access to quality health services. The theme for 2024 is #MyHealthMyRight , highlighting the fundamental need for affordable, accessible, and available diagnostic testing for all.

🌟We're excited to announce a new partnership with LifeArc for a £6.2M initiative aimed at eliminating #VisceralLeishmaniasis as a public health problem in #Kenya - focusing on detection, treatment, community awareness & capacity building!

Press release: finddx.org/publications-a…

More than 1.2 million #cholera rapid diagnostic tests will be shipped to 14 countries in largest-ever global deployment, with the first shipment landing today in Malawi bit.ly/3J6i5bD
