ICMR's NIIH develops simple point of care test for haemophilia A, Von Willebrand Disease

A cost-effective point-of-care test kit has been developed in India for early diagnosis of haemophilia A and Von Willebrand Disease, offering a more accessible alternative to expensive lab tests. This innovation, costing just Rs 582 compared to Rs 2,086 for current methods, could detect over 83,000 undiagnosed cases and save the health system approximately Rs 42 crore.
