ANVISA Prioritizes Registration of Mosquito-Borne Disease Tests

ANVISA has announced a new initiative to expedite the registration of diagnostic tests for diseases caused by mosquitoes, including dengue, chikungunya, and oropouche fever. This prioritization aims to enhance early diagnosis and treatment options for arboviral infections, which significantly impact public health in Brazil, especially during the rainy season when mosquito breeding increases. Effective until December 31, 2024, this measure applies to both new and pending requests for medical devices and Good Manufacturing Practices Certifications. Together, we can combat these diseases—let's all do our part by preventing stagnant water!
