Kenya yesterday achieved a milestone following the local manufacture of rapid testing kits for Covid-19 and malaria which is expected to drastically reduce the cost of treating the two diseases.
This is after the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) developed a rapid test kit known as Plasmochek, for the detection of the Malaria causing parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, which will reduce the cost of testing for malaria from Sh300 to as low as Sh60.
