The Healthcare group at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that it will be hosting its second quarter analyst briefing on East African Infectious Disease Diagnostics Markets on 23 April 2008 at 2pm BST / 3pm CAT.

East African governments are scaling up their voluntary counselling and testing and antiretroviral treatment programs. In addition, they are introducing rapid diagnostic test (RDT) kits for the screening and diagnosis of Malaria in primary health facilities.

"While East African infectious disease diagnostics are still in the introductory and growth stage, this provides a suitable platform for product placement," observes Research Analyst Tiwonge Mkandawire. "Early product placement is essential in order to capitalise on the anticipated increase in revenues from the supply of both RDTs and laboratory consumables."

This briefing will highlight growth trends and future prospects in the infectious disease diagnostics space. It will also provide insight on key success factors and strategic recommendations. The discussion will benefit component manufacturers and distributors of rapid diagnostics in the Malaria and HIV sector.
