Lot testing of Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests

FIND/WHO

Accurate diagnosis of malaria is vital to ensuring good management of febrile patients in malaria-endemic areas, and for monitoring the incidence of this potentially fatal disease. Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) play an important role in bringing accurate, rapid diagnosis and case management to whole populations who could never before be accurately diagnosed. To ensure good quality diagnostic results at the village level, test your RDT lots before sending them to the field.
