History
Early in its existence JNIMC developed rapid and western blot diagnostic test kits for Malaria TB and HIV. JNI was the first company to screen about 2 million pregnant women for the presence of HIV in South East Asia from 1999 – 2002. This resulted in many HIV-free births because the hospitals were able to treat the HIV positive pregnant women with Antiretroviral drugs. A rapid Tuberculosis test was developed by the company and demonstrated its diagnostic potential by screening 400 TB positive and negative serum samples from various hospitals in India. The results showed that the combination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens improved the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of the tests. The diagnostic products of the company have been used in more than 30 countries for screening infectious diseases. Early in 2003 the U.S. invented diagnostic technology was acquired by China and India. Within one Year the U.S. production costs became too high to effectively market U.S. made diagnostics so JNI began concentrating on its vaccine division.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
