Point-of-care testing (POCT) is transforming frontline care across East Africa. From HbA1c and lipid panels in diabetes clinics to malaria RDTs and HIV viral load support, facilities are investing in faster turnaround without building full central laboratories.
Equipment categories in demand
- Portable chemistry and immunoassay analysers
- Digital blood pressure and vital signs monitors with connectivity
- Ultrasound for primary obstetric and trauma screening
- Quality-assured rapid diagnostic tests with cold-chain where required
Training and maintenance matter
Device adoption fails when staff competency and preventive maintenance are afterthoughts. Select vendors who provide installation, user training, and clear spare-parts channels. Consolata coordinates equipment delivery with consumable bundles so reagent stock-outs do not idle capital investments.
