The RIGHT Foundation provided funding for the development of this innovative test between 2019 and 2022, underscoring its commitment to improving global health equity.<\/p>\n<p>The WHO PQ designation highlights the test\u2019s clinical effectiveness and extended shelf life, which has been successfully increased from 18 to 36 months. This critical advancement was supported by usability and clinical data generated during the RIGHT-funded project, significantly enhancing the accessibility and utility of the test.<\/p>\n<p>The STANDARD G6PD test is expected to reach broader communities following WHO\u2019s updated malaria treatment guidelines, which recommend testing for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency prior to administering primaquine or tafenoquine. These antimalarial drugs, while effective, can cause severe side effects\u2014and, in rare cases, fatalities\u2014in individuals with G6PD deficiency, a condition affecting approximately 5400 million people, particularly in malaria-endemic regions such as Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>The WHO PQ status marks a major milestone in global malaria control and elimination efforts. Prior to this designation, the STANDARD G6PD test had already received regulatory approval in Australia, among 20 other countries, and had been integrated into national malaria control programs in Brazil and Thailand. Access to the test has also been bolstered through public procurement contracts, ensuring wider distribution to communities in need across malaria-endemic areas.<\/p><p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px\">The RIGHT Foundation\u2019s support for the STANDARD G6PD test exemplifies its end-to-end approach to global health equity, encompassing both R&amp;D funding and public procurement efforts. This test serves as a landmark success for RIGHT\u2019s model, which aims to address the health needs of low- and middle-income countries by fostering innovation and ensuring the implementation of impactful solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As RIGHT continues to champion projects that prioritize global health challenges, the STANDARD G6PD test represents a significant step forward in ensuring safer malaria treatment and advancing the worldwide effort to eliminate the disease.<\/p>\n<p>The RIGHT Foundation is dedicated to fostering research and innovation that address critical global health challenges. By supporting end-to-end solutions, from development to delivery, RIGHT aims to promote equitable access to healthcare solutions for low- and middle-income countries.<\/p>\n<p>[References]<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\/item\/08-01-2025-who-prequalifies-diagnostic-test-to-support-safer-administration-of-p.-vivax-malaria-treatments#:~:text=On%2018%20December%202024%2C%20the,(P.%20vivax)%20infection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WHO prequalifies diagnostic test to support safer administration of P. vivax malaria treatments<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/extranet.who.int\/prequal\/vitro-diagnostics\/0581-117-00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WHO Prequalification Public Report for STANDARD G6PD Test<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/guidelines-for-malaria#:~:text=It%20replaces%20the%20versions%20published,%C2%A9%202025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WHO guidelines for malaria<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-20bba5f3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"20bba5f3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7a0e91f1\" data-id=\"7a0e91f1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fdcbac5\" data-id=\"3fdcbac5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d58706f elementor-align-right elementor-mobile-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"4d58706f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/news\/\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-sm\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">News List<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9th January 2025 Government &amp; Public Relations (GPR) team of the RIGHT Foundation The RIGHT Foundation (hereafter referred to as RIGHT) proudly announces that the STANDARD G6PD test, co-developed by SD Biosensor and PATH (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health), has received World Health Organization (WHO) Prequalification (PQ) on 18 December 2024.
