Diagnostic Kits
In 2019, there were 70.8 million forcibly displaced people worldwide and this number has continued to grow in subsequent years. Among the top causes of morbidity and mortality were measles, diarrhea, respiratory illness, and malaria. Availability of accurate diagnostics that are of low complexity, affordable, and produce timely results on site without the need for expensive laboratory equipment, extensive training, or distant transport of samples, are essential tools in the response to humanitarian emergencies (HE). Early detection of infectious diseases with epidemic potential and coordinated outbreak response, can result in significant decrease in morbidity and mortality.
WHO has developed standardized health kits of medicines and medical supplies to meet different health needs in humanitarian emergencies and disasters.
These kits are developed to provide reliable and affordable medicines and supplies quickly to those in need. The kits are used by United Nations agencies, nongovernmental organizations and national governments. Cyaxis International is able to source and supply these rapid test kits to humanitarian organizations and includes the following:
- Cholera kit
- Trauma and emergency surgery kit
- Non communicable diseases kit
- Pneumonia kit
- Measles kit
