Sysmex is actively engaged in addressing global health challenges, striving to improve health care outcomes worldwide. Malaria remains a major health challenge in Africa, but innovative diagnostic technology from Japan is making a difference.
Sysmex is advancing malaria control by providing automated hematology analyzers that enable faster and more accurate detection, helping strengthen health systems across the continent. Through co-creation, collaborative research and local capacity building with key partners, Sysmex is supporting timely care and better patient outcomes.
As African nations continue to strengthen their health care infrastructure, partnerships such as those between Sysmex and local institutions highlight the importance of global collaboration in combating endemic diseases. Sysmex believes that by working together, a world free of malaria can be achieved.
