SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq-CM: CODX) (the "Company" or "Co-Dx"), a molecular diagnostics company with a unique, patented platform for the development of molecular diagnostic tests, announced today that the Company will be hosting a booth this week at Africa Health/Medlab Africa in Johannesburg, South Africa on October 17-19, 2023.

The conference is described as the largest gathering of healthcare companies, technology, products and services in the sub-Saharan region, catering to an audience of professionals from the South African Development Community region and around the world, including distributors, government representatives, laboratory executives, and purchasing/procurement managers, who attend to meet with world-class suppliers and manufacturers.

Co-Dx believes that the trade show will contribute valuable insight into markets that are anticipated to play an important role in the Company's future as it prepares to launch its upcoming Co-Dx PCR Home™ platform.

In addition to a test for COVID-19, which is currently undergoing clinical evaluations on the platform in preparation for a submission to the FDA, Co-Dx has several other infectious disease tests in varying stages of development. One of these tests is for tuberculosis (TB), a disease for which the World Health Organization estimates 25% of new cases and deaths globally are found in the African region. Nigeria and South Africa are two of the 7 countries which have been estimated to account for over two thirds of global TB cases.

Co-Dx recently announced that it had received funding support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to be used towards completion of the TB test on the new Co-Dx PCR Home platform.

More information about the conference can be found here. Attendees interested in learning more about the Company are invited to visit Booth #2.C13.

The Co-Dx PCR Home platform is subject to FDA review and is not available for sale.
