Transporting, storing, and handling malaria rapid diagnostic tests
at central and peripheral storage facilities and in health clinics
2009
Pocket-guides designed for malaria programme managers, medical stores and transport personnel, and clinic workers on transport and storage of malaria rapid diagnostic tests. The separate guides concentrate on central transport and stage, and remote transport and storage, respectively. Many of the principles are applicable to other perishable medical supplies transported to, and used in, clinics in tropical and sub-tropical areas. The guides are developed jointly by FIND, WHO/WPRO, USAID/Deliver, the RBM Partnership and UNICEF.
