[Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance @gavi]

Measles outbreaks move fast. Knowing exactly where the virus is spreading can make the response faster too.

A new first-of-its-kind rapid diagnostic test, manufactured in Senegal, will allow cases to be confirmed more quickly, including in places where access to laboratories is limited.

For measles control, that means better surveillance and more targeted vaccination.

For African manufacturing, it marks an important milestone.

“By investing in local manufacturing capacity, we are not only helping to protect communities now, we are also putting in place systems that are better able to help prevent outbreaks from happening again in the future.” - An Vermeersch, Gavi’s Chief Vaccine Programmes and Markets Officer
