MEDBOX is an innovative online library aimed at improving the quality of healthcare in humanitarian action, worldwide.
MEDBOX is an independent internet platform supported by international agencies and scientific institutions active in humanitarian assistance, development and health work worldwide. MEDBOX collates the increasing number of professional guidelines, textbooks and practical documents on health action available online today and brings these into the hands of humanitarian aid and health workers: when they need it, where they need it.
MEDBOX is still under development! We are keen to receiving more documents, training materials and presentations relevant to improve the quality of health action! Your feedback is valuable to us, so do get in touch if you have something you'd like to share with us to improve on, and maximise, our collaborative space. Do send your comments to: info@medbox.org
MEDBOX. Capacity building and quality assurance through innovation.

ASLM in collaboration with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and in partnership with the Clinton Health Access Initiative, Amref and Last Mile Health present the Quality Assurance Framework for SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Testing for Diagnosis of COVID-19. This framework aims to provide general technical guidance to African Union Members States on the rollout, establishment, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 Ag RDT interventions so as to effectively and efficiently detect, control and minimise errors in the performance of COVID-19 laboratory testing processes. It describes the core components for quality assurance, resources mobilisation and advocacy for scale up, monitoring, evaluation, learning and accountability for SARS-CoV-2 implementation ... more
Die Liste wird kontinuierlich aktualisiert und beinhaltet die entsprechenden Tests zur professionellen Anwendung, die sich nach aktueller Kenntnis des BfArM in Deutschland in Verkehr befinden und laut den Herstellerangaben die jeweils aktuellen durch das Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI) in Abstimmung mit der Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) festgelegten Mindestkriterien für Antigen-Tests erfüllen ... more
Limited coverage of laboratory services and long turnaround times from real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) for the detection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been insufficient to meet the demands in many African countries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rapid antigen diagnostic tests (AgRDTs) are potentially useful as they can inform healthcare workers and individuals of their infection status at point-of-care testin ... more

Pflegeheime und Krankenhäuser können Antigen-Schnelltests nutzen, um Personal, Besucher sowie Patienten und Bewohner regelmäßig auf das Corona-Virus zu testen. Außerdem können die Schnelltests nun auch in Schulen eingesetzt werden. Eine entsprechende Änderung der Medizinprodukte-Abgabeverordnung ist am 4. Dezember in Kraft getreten. Warum Antigentests eingesetzt werden sollen und weitere Fragen und Antworten, finden Sie hie ... more
Im Kapitel zu Diagnostik zum Nachweis von COVID-19 bekommen Sie ausführlich die verschiedenen Testmethoden erklärt, es können Videos zu PCR, RAchenabstrich, etc. aufgerufen werden
The growing understanding of how sequence information can contribute to improved public health is driving global investments in sequencing facilities and programmes. The falling cost and complexity of generating GSD provides opportunities for expanding sequencing capacity; however, challenges to widespread implementation remain. This document provides policy-makers and stakeholders with guidance on how to maximize the public health benefit of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequencing activities in the short and long term as the pandemic continues to unfold. Practical considerations for the implementation of a virus genomic sequencing programme and an overview of the public health objectives of genomic sequencing are covered. This guidance focuses on SARS-CoV-2 but is applicable to other pathogens of public health concern ... more
