Problems After Floods & How Diagnostic Solutions Can Help
Introduction
Floods are among the most devastating natural disasters-only they are due to physical damage, but also due to prolonged effects on public health. After flood waters, communities often face a haptic in waterborne, vector-borne, and infectious diseases, as well as with severe disruption in basic health services.
In such situations, early disease detection and clinical intervention become important tools in preventing broad outbreaks. Astam Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd., we provide a broader category of clinical kits and medical devices that are particularly useful during disaster recovery efforts, help clinics, hospitals, NGOs and public health agencies and react effectively and efficiently.
🌊 Common Health Challenges After Floods
1. Waterborne Diseases
One of the most immediate hazards is flood after a flood contamination of drinking water with sewage and waste. This causes an outbreak of diseases like cholera, typhoid, dysentery, and hepatitis A and B.
2. Vector related Diseases
Steamed water left behind floods makes the right breeding position for mosquitoes. As a result, there has been a significant increase in diseases like malaria, dengue and chikungunya.
3. Respiratory & Fungal Infections
Prolonged contact for moist and unnatural states can cause respiratory problems and fungal infections, especially in children and the elderly. Molds, mildew, and decay waste contribute to a sharp increase in allergies and asthma.
4. Skin & Gastrointestinal Infections
Skin infections, food poisoning, and H due to running through contaminated water or consuming poor food. There may be gastrointestinal issues such as pylori -related ulcers, especially when medical care is delayed.
5. Disrupted Chronic Disease Management
Floods often cut access to regular healthcare. Patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart conditions struggle to manage their health, leading to complications that can be prevented otherwise.
6. Lack of Cleanliness and Hygiene
Broken toilets, contaminated water supply, and soap or lack of clean towels means that people are unable to maintain basic hygiene, causing an outbreak of diseases such as conjunctivitis, scabies, or even hepatitis.
🧪 Why Diagnostics Are Critical Post-Flood
While emergency medical aid is important, accurate diagnosis is the foundation of any successful healthcare response. It helps medical professionals :
Recognize infections quickly
Distribute targeted treatment
Stop the outbreak of the disease
Monitor population health trends
Allocate resources efficiently
Without clinical equipment, relief workers are left to visually treat symptoms, which can lead to misuse of antibiotic drugs, under-diagnosis of severe conditions and uncontrolled proliferation of infections.
🏥 How Astam Diagnostics Contributes
Astam Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd., we manufacture and supply a broad portfolio of In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) test kits and medical devices that serve as an important tool in both emergency and regular healthcare settings.
Our rapid test kits are particularly useful in flood recovery for their speed, ease of use and reliability, even in field or mobile clinic settings.
Here is how our major products can support flood relief efforts :
✅ Malaria Antigen Test Kit (P.f / P.v)
There is a sharp increase in malaria cases in flood-prone areas. Our rapid malaria test kits enable the immediate identity of Plasmodium Falciparum or Vivax infection to begin without delay.
✅ Dengue NS1 Antigen Test
Dengue is another major concern after the floods. Using our NS1 test initial detection can help doctors start supporting treatment and prevent complications.
✅ H. Pylori Antibody Test
The post -flood condition often leads to digestive issues. Our H. Pylori test helps identify gastric infections, avoiding unnecessary treatments and supporting rapid recovery.
✅ Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Test
Contaminated water or medical equipment can spread Hepatitis B. Our HBsAg rapid test allows quick detection and isolation of infected individuals.
✅ HIV-1 & HIV-2 Rapid Test Kits
In the settings where regular healthcare is interrupted, our HIV test kits continue to screen for the risk population even in low-resources environments.
✅ Urine Strips & Other Basic Clinical Equipment
Our multi-parameter urine test strips provide a quick health snapshot, including renal function and glucose levels, important for chronic care running during the emergency.
✅ Medical Devices
We also provide essential medical equipment such as blood pressure monitors and digital thermometers, which are important for the management of both infectious and non-infectious conditions in the displaced population.
All our products are designed keeping in mind accuracy, speed and field purposes. Our kits are manufactured in India and meet hard quality standards to meet healthcare workers to achieve the required reliability in important conditions.
