• Conduct research, clincal trials and surveys
• Biomarker assessments and diagnostic implementation
• Quality Assurance for Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests (MRDTs). We provide the following services:
• Pre-procurement testing of RDT samples to ensure that are suitable for use in hospitals. They must pass quality control before being deployed for use.
• Lot testing fro Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests.
• Post deployment quality assurance for consistency of performance.
• Training on MRDTs (training manuals being developed), supervision and monitoring.
• Malaria Microscopy Quality Assurance Programme: This has become imperative for an effective case management of malaria because of limitations in malaria microscopy skills, over diagnosis of malaria based on clinical symptoms alone, best practices and quality care for patients. Health workers involved in malaria diagnosis are supervised monthly and challenges addressed promptly. GCLP that could be extended to other diagnostic conditions will be entrenched and sustained in a timely fashion thus creating the highly desired work ethics with success in patient’s management being the bottom line.
Malaria Microscopy Training and Certification Programme (2006 – Date). We have an internationally recognized INTERNATIONAL MALARIA MICROSCOPY TRAINING CENTER with our curriculum designed to undertake 5 – 7, 10 days, 2 weeks – 4 weeks training programme and refresher course for various categories of health worker.
This guarantees accurate and reliable malaria diagnosis for better patient management and the production of reliable base-line data for assessing the impact of any intervention. Health workers in the private and public sectors are trained to acquire skills in detecting malaria even in lower densities, quantifying malaria parasitaemia , species identification, internal quality control mechanisms and provided with Standard Operating procedures (SOPs) templates , Microscope maintenance skills, etc to enable them perform optimally. Strictly speaking, this training arm is part of our malaria diagnosis quality assurance programme.
