Prof. -
Objective
- India's National Strategic Plan to eliminate malaria by 2027. United Nations sustainable development goal of global malaria elimination by 2030.
Description
- Malaria remains a persistent challenge to human health, causing over 200 million cases & claiming more than half a million lives each year. Need development of field-deployable devices for rapid, ultrasensitive and accurate diagnosis. Existing clinical methods are manually intensive and/or take too long (light microscopy) or are expensive and not field-deployable (PCR-based) or are not as accurate (RDT-based). United Nations sustainable development goal of global malaria elimination by 2030.
Impact
- The method used was: Rapid, Cost-effective, Sensitive, Quantitative, High Specificity, Scope for Field Deployable, Does not require Highly Specialized Technicians.
