What happens at the visit

Here it is, step by step.

  1. The doctor asks for the test

    This happens in your room, while the doctor is with you.

  2. You give the sample

    We take a little blood from a vein in your arm.

  3. Our lab does the test

    It is done here, in the same building.

  4. You get the result the same day

    The doctor goes through it with you and explains what it means. If you need medicines, you get them from our dispensary before you leave. You go home with a printed note of your visit.

Before you come

You can eat before this test. Eat and drink as normal.

When a fever has gone on for several days, with stomach pain, a headache, no appetite or diarrhoea. It matters most when the malaria test shows no malaria.

If you have a question about a result after you get home, send us a message.
