You are watching Chlamydia Season 3 Episode 8

A major problem in the spread of Chlamydia in the developing world is that people rarely have the time to see a doctor for a test, let alone the follow-up appointment. In the Philippines a journey to a clinic can take a whole day, and the diagnostic test takes 5-6 hours. However, the development of a rapid test is taking place in Cambridge to allow diagnosis within 25 minutes- enabling immediate treatment.
