Under the agreement, Cosmos Health is now also authorized to import, sell, and distribute Virax-branded mpox Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kits throughout the GCC, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The RT-PCR mpox virus detection kits are CE-marked for sale in Europe and authorized by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. These tests offer a sensitivity of 96.7% and a specificity of 93.72%, providing results in under 70 minutes.
