Big Fish products in Mohammad International Medical Laboratory, Afghanistan
Recently, Big Fish and Mohammad International Medical Lab officially reached a strategic cooperation, and the first batch of Big Fish's medical testing instruments and supporting systems were successfully stationed in the lab. This cooperation will significantly enhance the diagnosis of major diseases, public health research and clinical testing capabilities in Afghanistan and the surrounding areas, and inject new momentum into the construction of the local healthcare system.
Technology Enabled to Fill Regional Healthcare Gaps
The Afghan health-care system has long faced multiple challenges. According to the World Health Organization's 2021 assessment report, Afghanistan's medical stockpile lasts only one week, and testing rates have plummeted by 80 per cent as a result of the turmoil, with less than 5 per cent of new crowns vaccinated. Despite the gradual recovery of international assistance in recent years, the country still suffers from outdated testing equipment, unstable power supply, and a lack of professional and technical personnel, especially in remote areas, where the diagnosis of major diseases often relies on tests sent from overseas, which can take up to two weeks or more. As one of the largest comprehensive medical testing organisations in Afghanistan, Mohammad International Medical Laboratory (MIML) has long been undertaking the prevention and control of infectious diseases, screening of chronic diseases and other medical testing tasks in the country, however, its original equipment has low sensitivity and limited detection throughput, making it difficult to cope with the demand for accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis, hepatitis and other highly prevalent diseases. The introduction of BFEX-16E fully automatic nucleic acid extraction and purification instrument and supporting reagents, BFQP-16 fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument, can accurately cover the core areas of pathogen detection, precision drug testing, cancer screening, etc., which greatly improves the sensitivity and detection efficiency of the laboratory's medical testing, especially in the area of tuberculosis, hepatitis and early screening of cancer, will further change Afghanistan's It will further change the predicament of Afghanistan's reliance on overseas delivery of tests.
Customised services for a sustainable healthcare ecosystem
To meet the challenges of unstable power supply and shortage of technicians in Afghanistan, Big Fish has customised a low-power equipment solution, with the peak power of the complete medical testing system not exceeding 500 W. At the same time, the fully-automated and intelligent operating system and a full set of pre-packaged reagents greatly reduces the cost of learning for the local testing personnel. Big Fish not only provides instruments, but also committed to growing with local medical partners. In the future, Big Fish will continue to provide support to the Afghan region and assist in the training of professional testing personnel, covering the operation of equipment, data interpretation and basic maintenance, to ensure the healthy development of the medical testing industry in Afghanistan.
Responding to the Belt and Road, Practising Social Responsibility
The cooperation between Big Fish and Afghanistan is based on technological innovation as a link, accurately connecting the advantages of China's medical industry chain with the actual needs of countries along the ‘Belt and Road’, which not only improves the level of regional medical care, but also promotes the construction of a ‘community of health’ through the export of standards, production capacity cooperation and people's well-being. Health Community’. This model provides a practical path for the ‘Healthy Silk Road’ and highlights the innovative contribution and responsibility of Chinese enterprises in global healthcare governance.
