Malaria Rapid Test

A Malaria Rapid Test is a quick diagnostic tool used to detect malaria infection. It works by identifying specific proteins or antigens produced by the malaria parasites in a small blood sample, usually from a finger prick. The test typically provides results within 15-20 minutes, helping healthcare providers diagnose malaria promptly. This allows for immediate treatment, which is crucial to prevent serious complications. The test is simple to perform, requires minimal equipment, and is especially useful in areas with limited laboratory facilities. It supports early detection and effective management of malaria cases.
