Every
15 Seconds Someone Uses a CIGA Test
CIGA Healthcare
is a young and dynamic company that specializes in the Rapid
Self Test Health Diagnostics sector and is leading developments
in this rapidly emerging new OTC market. Since it was
established in 2005 the company has grown rapidly and now
supplies tests to retailers in the UK such as ASDA, Tesco and
Sainsbury’s.
CIGA offers
retailers across Europe the opportunity to have carefully
selected Self Test Products. These can be promoted as an
integrated range to their customers and provides coverage of all
age demographics from 0 – 100 under one brand
SURESIGN®.
As customers realize that they have the prime responsibility for
their health they want to be able to monitor not only their own
health but also their families’ health on a regular basis.
Diagnostic Self Tests allow them to ensure that many potential
health problems are caught as early as possible and can be
treated to avoid long term problems.
CIGA’s SURESIGN®
range of Self Tests is growing quickly to meet the new demands
of this market. It is forecast the UK Self Test sector will
increase in value by more than 100% over the next 5 years,
approaching £150,000,000. The market in the rest of Europe is
also expected to experience similar strong growth.
CIGA’s range of tests and equipment ranges from
fertility to heart health to blood pressure monitoring and is
being added to on a regular basis as demands in the market are
identified. CIGA’s
SURESIGN®
brand is sold in over 5,000 multiple, pharmacy, grocery and
general retail outlets across the UK, Ireland, Italy and
Benelux. All tests and equipment are fully compliant with
European-wide CE marking regulations and are assessed by
independent bodies appointed by The Medicines and Health
products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to ensure they are of the
highest standard and our quality rating exceeds 99.998%.
CIGA's success
has been recognized by several prestigious awards including the 'UK
Small Industrial Company of the Year' in the Best of British
Awards sponsored by the Sunday Times, AMEC and the Work
Foundation.
