CODIX LAUNCHES SD BIOLINE MALARIA AG PF (RAPID DIAGNOSTIC TEST KITS) IN NIGERIA

I believe that nearly everyone in this room would have experienced at least one episode of malaria. I would like to take your mind back to the last time that you had malaria or that you thought you had malaria. Like a lot of people including my humble self, when we have self-diagnosed ourselves from the symptoms, our first point of call is our local pharmacy store, where we would either ask for a named brand of anti-malaria or we ask the pharmacist to recommend an anti-malaria. We go back home and take the drugs hoping to get better. Sometimes, this will be the case, other times, the symptoms persist which will then make us either go back to the pharmacy store for another brand of anti-malaria or go to the hospital.

Some hospitals will carry out microscopic tests in-house to diagnose malaria and others will collect our blood sample and send to another laboratory. This will usually take 1-3 days depending on the situation. During this period, you will probably be started on another medication pending the outcome of the test. The test when it finally arrives may confirm malaria or another type of fever.

You can see that there are lots of over-diagnosis and misdiagnosis of malaria in Nigeria.

Cardio-Metabolic Care

A healthy citizenry is the foundation for successful implementation of social and economic policies and programmes of any country. The combination of diabetes and hypertension is lethal to the cardiovascular system. The risk of the occurrence of strokes, myocardial infarctions, heart failure, and renal failure is increased in the diabetic patient with hypertension. Codix is therefore committed to the effective management and control of diabetes, hypertension and CHD in Nigeria.
