By Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8shkh6/emerging) has announced the addition of the "Emerging Technologies in Infectious Diseases Diagnostics (Technical Insights)" report to their offering.
This research service focuses on the emerging diagnostic technologies (for TB, HIV, HCV, HPV), the developmental initiatives, corporate developments by market leaders, and the role of international organizations within this market. It enlists end-user demands. The research service discusses the existing healthcare structure within the developing regions and the market impact of key innovations that influence the dynamics of the industry. It identifies the technology roadmap and technology management strategies. The research service also covers some of the key patents within the area.
Key Findings
1. In developing countries, health care issues are matter of great concern for many actors.
2. Commissioning of private laboratories by the public sector and some use of the public sector by private practitioners and NGOs are frequent.
3. In addition, the level and quality of care experienced by these populations can vary widely, from primitive clinical attention in rural rooms to large centralized laboratories. Moreover, women and other vulnerable groups in economic or social disadvantage also have reduced access to health care.
4. Similarly, patients not covered by insurance schemes cannot accede to diagnostic tests, which coming from developed countries are rarely free at the point of delivery and often come with significant fees. In most developing countries the public sector is the major provider of primary health care services.
5. Nevertheless, diagnosis is more frequently associated with the nongovernmental sector.
6. Emerging economies such as Brazil (Latin America), India (Asia) and South Africa (Africa) provide established and growing markets for the private health sector, and multinational companies have established a presence in these countries through partnership or by acquisition of local diagnostic companies.
7. A common characteristic in emerging economies such as China and Brazil is related to the increment in the burden of disease according to the rising of living standards and ageing population, which generally results in an increased demand for diagnosis and management.
8. Chronic infectious diseases such as HIV, TB, HCV, and HPV play a preponderant role.
9. In less developed countries the establishment of private diagnostic laboratories have been associated with a response to the low level of service available from the public sector, basically aiming to reduce the need to travel abroad for medical care by providing services and products to difficult acceded areas.
10. International initiatives such as UNITAID, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and malaria, or the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), make possible the access of developing countries to diagnostic tests at preferential prices or for free.
11. Such initiatives are generally restricted to specific disease-control programmes, including HIV, TB, HCV, HPV and malaria in the most affected countries.
12. Short-term funding mechanisms are far to be sustainable, so that infectious diseases diagnostics in developing countries still constitute an important concern.
