Global impact  of gastrointestinal infections and diagnostic needs

According to the WHO, gastrointestinal infections cause approximately 8 million  deaths each year. While viruses account for most of these infections, bacteria and parasites also significantly contribute to both acute and chronic illnesses. The impact of these diseases is particularly severe in developing countries, where diarrheal diseases lead to high morbidity and mortality, especially among children. Improving accessibility to reliable diagnostic testing, including innovative Self-Collection methods, is crucial to reducing this global health burden.
