Creating a Private Sector Market for Quality-Assured RDTs in Malaria-Endemic Countries

Objectives

This market intervention, implemented by Population Services International (PSI), will help to develop a sustainable private sector market for rapid diagnostic tools (RDTs) in five malaria-endemic countries. 

Rationale and Abstract

RDTs are available in hospitals, clinics and other public sector outlets in these countries, but are nearly non-existent in pharmacies, markets and other private sector outlets where 40-60% of the population in malaria-endemic countries seek care for malaria. This project aims to transform the RDT market from a low-volume, high-margin market for poor quality RDTs to one where customers have easy access to affordable, quality-assured RDTs.
