Please read below for more detail on Regent Laboratories, their Bugstop™ Range of Products, and the Integrated Vector Control Programme support and delivery.
Regent Laboratories
Primarily known for the international distribution of their Bugstop™ Range of Larvicides, IRS & Fogging insecticides, long-lasting insecticide-impregnated bed-nets, and insect repellent lotions amongst other malaria prevention items, Regent Laboratories are now providing enhanced customer services to those that use their products. (See the Working with You section).
An Integrated Vector Control Programme seeks to improve the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, ecological soundness, and sustainability of disease-vector control. The goal is to prevent the transmission of vector-borne diseases, whilst ensuring the safety of all that may be impacted by the services provided.
Regent Laboratories offer a range of advisory and consulting services to their customers, from supporting programmes where the entire service is being outsourced to supporting local teams through programme support and specialist training. Regent Laboratories ensure that that they, work closely with the appropriate customer health and safety officers and local public health officers.
As a successful business, Regent Laboratories understands not only the social impact on local communities from Malaria but also recognises the impact malaria has on the productivity of the workforce. WHO has identified a 33% impact on productivity in mining, agriculture, and hospitality sectors as a result of poor implementation of integrated vector control programmes. This amounts to a significant waste of human resources, products, money, and effort.
With the right support given to your Malaria Prevention and Eradication teams, Regent Laboratories aims to achieve up to a 95% reduction in malaria cases and minimise the wastage of larvicides and insecticides.
