This is in addition to leveraging the tuberculosis-testing network in the country.
Several other point-of-care testing kits are in the process of being made.
The recently formed "Central Task Force on Monkeypox" too has stressed developing diagnostics and vaccines for this contagious disease.
Globally almost 98 per cent of the monkeypox cases have been detected among gay or bisexual men though it is not classified as a sexually transmitted disease. Point-of-care testing, screening and a wide network of testing in the hinterland are likely to help arrest the spread of the disease.
Goa-based molecular diagnostics company Molbio Diagnostics has developed a test kit using its Truenat platform. Molbio founder, director, and Chief Executive Officer Sriram Natarajan said the test would be able to leverage the Truenat machines, which are already deployed.
