Story Highlights

Invest with Confidence:

An announcement from Medmira ( (TSE:MIR) ) is now available.

MedMira Inc. has received Investigational Testing Authorizations from Health Canada to begin clinical trials for self-testing and non-professional use of its Multiplo® TP/HIV rapid test. This move is significant amid rising syphilis and HIV cases in Canada, especially in the Prairie regions, as it aims to provide accessible testing options for individuals who face barriers to healthcare. The trials, supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, will be conducted by REACH Nexus at the MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions. The tests are designed to offer quick, reliable results from a single finger-prick blood sample, potentially allowing users to confirm positive results through lab tests and access treatment promptly.
