Hemocue
Anemia due to malnutrition or malaria presents a major public health burden in many developing countries. Pregnant women and preschool children are especially at risk, and untreated it may have devastating effects on the prosperity of an entire society. With HemoCue we can make it easy to detect those at risk and take action. By providing access to accurate screening tools whether in hospital or in the field, you can protect the children who will be shaping our future. One drop of blood in combination with HemoCue’s point-of-care testing systems can make a difference; HemoCue is a global leader in a field of near patient testing. Our solutions are being used in high end hospitals as well as in the most rural undeveloped villages – without compromising accuracy. They are being used in emergency situations, in standard routine care as well as in mobile screening programs and mobile hospitals – in any climate.

HemoCue subsidiaries, affiliates, franchises and third-party distributors deliver our products to more than 130 countries worldwide.
