Use of Dalrada Health's patent pending VIA kits by a healthcare professional in a primary healthcare setting simplifies procedures for rapid management of multiple aspects to early detection of cervical cancer. Composed of components manufactured in FDA or ISO-approved facilities, Dalrada Health's VIA kits ensure quality control for consistent validation processes.  Due to the pandemic, the study was severely delayed, however due to the efforts of Dr. Payal and Dalrada Health team, the company was able to complete the last remaining patient tests.

The study compared Pap smear to Dalrada Health's Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) Kit for cervical cancer detection. In the 100-person study, participants ranged in age from 30-65 years-old. Study results include:

• More than 94% of the time, VIA and Pap tests results concurred
• VIA was highly specific in comparison to Pap smear
• Biopsy can be immediately taken in VIA positive cases
• Ready-to-use kits will aid automated imaging analysis in the future
• Detecting and timely treatment of latent infections is an added benefit of VIA kits

Cervical cancer is one among the top three cancers affecting women younger than 45 years in 146 of 185 countries assessed by the World Health Organization. Additional statistics on cervical cancer indicate:

• One woman dies ever two minutes from cervical cancer
• More than 75% of first-time screened women are diagnosed in advanced stages cervical cancer
• 85% of cervical cancer deaths occur in low-and middle-income countries (WHO)
• VIA screenings reduced cervical cancer mortality by 31% over a 15-year period (India)
