Bill Gatess foundation has poured millions of dollars into eradicating malaria, which still claims hundreds of thousands of lives each year.
Now, a South African biotechnologist-turned-enterpreneur has developed a self-testing kit that can diagnose malaria in less than 30 minutes, and put sufferers on the path to recovery faster and cheaper.
The best think about Uys test is the price: they cost roughly 30 cents each, a fact his company, Medical Diagnostic, takes immense pride in.
I looked at developing a malaria test that can actually show you the strain of malaria you have the type of malaria so (doctors) know which treatment to give you, and then also to see if the treatment is working or not, Ashley Uys told CNN. So I developed a test that can do all of that.
