We are pleased to inform our community that UNICEF has contacted KitPCR directly to share the newly published WHO Target Product Profile (TPP) for Typhoid Fever Diagnostics. This official communication was sent to diagnostic companies worldwide, recognizing those who are already developing or offering typhoid tests.
Why is this important?
The WHO Typhoid Fever Diagnostics TPP provides a clear set of specifications that manufacturers can use to align their current or planned products. By reviewing the document, companies can:
- Assess how their diagnostic tools match WHO requirements
- Guide future product development strategies
- Contribute to improving availability and quality of typhoid diagnostics worldwide
Global Impact
This initiative is part of a broader collaboration between UNICEF, WHO, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, aiming to strengthen disease surveillance and access to high-quality diagnostics in low- and middle-income countries. The effort spans typhoid, yellow fever, cholera, measles, rubella, and meningitis.
