Description

Hello, I’m Thomas Locke and this is Five Minutes, the podcast that brings you closer to the people fighting malaria.




Today I’m joined by Dr Mark Amos to discuss the accuracy of malaria testing.




How accurate are Rapid Diagnostic Tests, or RTDs, tools that are becoming increasing popular? And how do they compare to traditional lab testing?




This is Five Minutes with Dr Mark Amos.
