The world's first manufacturing lab for epidemics set up in Dakar, Senegal. @mologic Joe Fitchett: "The factor pushing this is frustration" #ISNTDd3 #beatntds ISNTD

First up in session 4 at today's ISNTD #isntdd3 is Katie Gass The Task Force with 'Rethinking #NTDs #Diagnostics to achieve elimination' ✔️Specificity is key ✔️Consider the M&E tools ✔️🏃🏿‍♀️from single-test paradigm ✔️Adapt to reflect test performance #BeatNTDs

Katie Gass at #ISNTDd3 : Diagnostic needs for (MDA-amendable) NTDs are "unique". Rather than perfect tests, we need to adapt the levers that impact test performance Katie Gass The Task Force ISNTD

Bad news. Bio-Rad Life Science tells its customers that it will discontinue production of its rk39 rapid test for visceral #leishmaniasis next year. The company invokes costly investments required by EU regulators. 🤔 #NTDs 1/4

This is just another example of the long list of tools for neglected diseases abandoned by companies. As #NTDs are not lucrative, companies are tempted to stop production when additional costs to upgrade production are needed. 4/4
