E-drug: Re: Malaria prophylaxis during pregnancy (10)
----------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I agree that we should invest more in making proper - lab. confimed -
diagnoses, especially at the health centre level in Developing Countries.
Mini-labs" (basic haematology, parasitology of stools and urine) are not
expensive and should be available in EVERY health centre. Why is
"presumptive malaria" still such a popular diagnosis in the HMIS??
