RTS La 1ere Geneva 14d11d Impact 8

A new rapid diagnostic test for measles has been developed to improve detection of the highly contagious disease in various countries. The validation follows clinical trials conducted across nine countries. Currently, the test is only available for laboratory use. A prospective study is presently being conducted to expand its application. The WHO and Canada's Public Health Agency validated the test following clinical trials in nine countries. Initial study results are expected in the coming months. The test is intended for mass production at a factory in Senegal currently being set up. Partners such as Médecins Sans Frontières plan to distribute the test to remote areas outside of traditional laboratories. The test requires no laboratory or sampling equipment and will be mass-produced in a new Senegalese factory for distribution to remote areas by partners like Médecins Sans Frontières.
