April 8, 2009

Roche introduces new LightCycler MRSA advanced test in EU | www.roche.com

European healthcare organizations have always been more aggressive in identifying MRSA infections. Europe popularized the "search and destroy" protocol of MRSA containment. This new method by Roche is a valuable addition in this arsenal. I expect the LightCycler MRSA Test by Roche to be popular and very lucrative for Roche.

People are living longer. And Medical technology is improving at a rate that provides new and better healthcare services. Thirdly, there is never a down year for Healthcare space. Whether there is a recession or not, the demand for Healthcare services continues.
