Anvisa is implementing measures to speed up the registration of diagnostic tests for mosquito-borne diseases, aiming at better control of arboviruses in Brazil.
The National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) recently announced that it will prioritize the analysis of requests for registration of tests for the diagnosis of mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya and oropouche fever. This decision aims to strengthen the fight against arboviruses in Brazil, focusing on the early detection of these diseases, which have a major impact on the country’s public health, especially during the rainy season.
Anvisa’s initiative is temporary, valid until December 31, 2024, and includes both new registration requests and requests that are already awaiting analysis. With this measure, the Agency seeks to speed up the availability of safe and effective alternatives for the diagnosis of arboviruses, offering more options to the market and, consequently, more tools for the control of these diseases.
Accelerating the Diagnosis of Arboviruses in Brazil
Arboviruses, such as dengue, chikungunya and oropouche fever, are highly relevant diseases in Brazil, with severe impacts on the population, especially in regions that suffer from mosquito breeding during rainy periods. Rapid diagnosis is one of the most important strategies for controlling these diseases, allowing health professionals to make more assertive treatment decisions and authorities to implement control and prevention actions.
Anvisa’s decision to prioritize the registration of diagnostic tests aims precisely to facilitate this early diagnosis, providing greater safety for treatment and public health actions throughout the country.
Why is Test Registration Essential?
The process of registering medical devices for in vitro diagnostics with Anvisa is rigorous and necessary to ensure that the products offered to the market are safe, effective and of high quality. The Good Manufacturing Practices Certification (CBPF) is also an essential document in this process, ensuring that manufacturers follow the quality standards required by Brazilian regulations.
By prioritizing the analysis of these records, Anvisa hopes to reduce release times, allowing tests to be available on the market more quickly, especially in critical times of increasing cases of arboviruses.
Impact of Arboviruses and Anvisa’s Initiative
Arboviruses are one of the biggest challenges faced by the Brazilian health system. Dengue, for example, continues to be one of the main causes of hospitalization and death in several regions of the country. Chikungunya and oropouche fever also represent growing threats, requiring fast and effective solutions for diagnosis and treatment.
By prioritizing records, Anvisa contributes to the more effective fight against these diseases, offering a fast and agile response, essential in times of epidemics and during the months of greatest proliferation of mosquitoes.
