Diagnostics for Maternal, Newborn & Infectious Disease Testing
Maternova curates a portfolio of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and laboratory diagnostics for communicable and infectious diseases that are among the leading causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Our diagnostic solutions support the early detection of conditions such as HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, gonorrhea, chlamydia, procalcitonin (infection and sepsis), and neonatal hypothermia.
Many infectious diseases can be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. Early diagnosis is essential to reduce complications, improve treatment outcomes, and prevent maternal and newborn deaths. Conditions such as syphilis and HIV are particularly important to identify during antenatal and perinatal care.
Our laboratory culture tests are designed as all-in-one cassettes for maximum ease of use in point-of-care (POC) settings, while our rapid diagnostic tests deliver accurate results within minutes without requiring specialized laboratory equipment. Using a small sample of blood, urine, swab, or other specimens, these tests enable healthcare providers to make timely clinical decisions in hospitals, clinics, and community health settings.
Designed specifically for low-resource environments, Maternova's rapid diagnostic solutions are reliable, affordable, and easy to use with minimal training requirements. Products such as the ThermoSpot® infant hypothermia indicator and rapid tests for infectious diseases help frontline healthcare workers quickly identify patients requiring immediate treatment or referral.
Maternova's mission is to make innovative healthcare technologies accessible worldwide. By combining evidence-based diagnostic solutions with end-to-end global procurement and logistics expertise, we help governments, NGOs, hospitals, and healthcare organizations strengthen disease screening programs and improve maternal and newborn health outcomes.
