Samba Machine A Boost For Hiv Patients In Malawi

The machine uses electricity, but batteries lasting up to eight hours are set to switch on automatically if the power goes off. Chiradzulu is the first district in Malawi to receive Samba machines. There are two in the district, but plans are in place to install a machine in seven other health centres in the region. Unitaid has given an $8 million grant to Diagnostics for the Real World to speed up manufacturing and get the machines out on the market. A Samba 2 machine is now being developed and could be rolled out next year. It should be even simpler to use.
