All about Medical Treatment in Germany

Help for HIV patients

Unfortunately, HIV patients in developing countries have much less of a chance to get adequate treatment than patients in developed nations. This is partly due to the lack of an established medical infrastructure. With the help of portable technology from German company Partec this might change, however. In order to treat HIV successfully the illness must be monitored closely. To do that the number of so called CD4 cells needs to be counted in the patient’s blood about four times a year. This can be done with Partec’s CyFlow Counter. It can check more than 100,000 cells in less than one minute. Also, the price for such a blood test is well below other methods. That is why many governmental as well as non-governmental health organizations use the counter. In 2008 more than 2.5 million tests were done.
