Invited by the Stop TB Partnership and the Global Fund to participate as a manufacturer partner
Workshop brings together national TB programs, researchers, donors, and technical agencies from 21 countries to advance implementation of WHO-recommended near-point-of-care diagnostics
The workshop is intended to bring together national tuberculosis ("MTB" or "TB") programs, national reference laboratories, implementers, researchers, donors, and technical agencies to share early implementation experience with NPOC platforms, to translate the new WHO guidelines on NPOC diagnostics (including tongue swabs and sputum pooling) into national policy and operational plans, and to support countries preparing the NPOC components of their Global Fund GC8 funding requests.
UNOPS is an agency of the United Nations that provides infrastructure, procurement and project management services to support and implement humanitarian and development projects. The Company was invited to participate in the Workshop by the Stop TB Partnership and by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, to give delegates and stakeholders from 21 countries and more than 50 different organizations hands-on experience with the Co-Dx™ PCR platform* and Co-Dx PCR MTB test, and to facilitate discussion with the Co-Dx team in attendance.
Recent guidance from the World Health Organization has underscored the importance of expanding near-point-of-care molecular diagnostics for tuberculosis, including the use of easy-to-collect tongue swabs for patients who cannot produce sputum samples. The Co-Dx PCR platform is designed to integrate sample preparation, amplification, and detection in a single workflow suited for decentralized testing environments that is consistent with these updated recommendations for global TB diagnostics.
*The Co-Dx PCR platform (including the PCR Home®, PCR Pro®, mobile app, and all associated tests) is subject to review by the FDA and/or other regulatory bodies and is not yet available for sale.
