Maintaining quality, competitiveness and innovation in global health technology
is a constant challenge for manufacturers, while affordability, access and equity
are challenges for governments and international agencies. In this paper we
discuss these issues with reference to rapid diagnostic tests for malaria.
Strategies to control and eliminate malaria depend on early and accurate
diagnosis. Rapid diagnostic tests for malaria require little training and
equipment and can be performed by non-specialists in remote settings. Use of
these tests has expanded significantly over the last few years, following
recommendations to test all suspected malaria cases before treatment and the
implementation of an evaluation programme to assess the performance of the
malaria rapid diagnostic tests. Despite these gains, challenges exist that, if
not addressed, could jeopardize the progress made to date. We discuss recent
developments in rapid diagnostic tests for malaria, highlight some of the
challenges and provide suggestions to address them.
