WHO Urges Rapid Access to Mpox Diagnostic Tests, Invites Manufacturers to Emergency Review
AccuBioTech provides the Monkeypox Rapid Tests as an aid in the diagnosis of Monkeypox Virus infections.
In the context of the continuing rise in cases of monkeypox (mpox), the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued an urgent call for rapid monkeypox diagnostic tests and has formally invited relevant manufacturers to participate in an urgent review process for their products. This step is intended to speed up the availability of diagnostic tools to more effectively identify and control this rare but potentially fatal disease worldwide.
Testing is key for people to get treatment and care as early as possible and prevent further spread. With up to 1,000 suspected cases reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo alone in the past week, demand for diagnostic tests is rising.
WHO is therefore urging manufacturers of these tests to act quickly and work with governments to ensure they are used effectively. By quickly identifying cases, preventive measures can be taken to limit the spread of the virus, thereby protecting more of the population from infection.
The global control of mpox is at a critical stage, and WHO's urgent action shows the international community's determination to unite to address the public health challenge. By accelerating access to and urgent review of diagnostic tests, the world is expected to take an important step in epidemic control, protect public health and maintain social stability.
