Excerpt

The ability to screen for asymptomatic malaria infection at a field level is increasingly recognized as a key strategy in malaria elimination campaigns. However, molecular methods necessary to detect very low parasite density infections, such as PCR, are restricted to reference-level laboratories and require considerable training to perform. To be effective, such techniques must be close enough to the positive cases to enable rapid treatment. Loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) is highly sensitive and specific, faster than PCR, requires minimal processing and instrumentation, and allows result detection with the naked eye. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
