Test implementation barriers |
“. . . I think it is invasive to fingerprick twice. Here, there is no collection at the hospital, the diagnosis of malaria only works during business hours. To improve this it would be better to collect the sample for the test at the same time as the blood for the diagnosis of malaria. . .” (HCP 02) |
HCP perception of test importance |
“It is important to get tested because if the person takes the medication and is allergic, they may have complications such as dark urine, yellow skin” (HCP 15) |
Patient understanding of the test |
“I think the patient understands the reason for the test because before the patients had a reaction to the medication and they did not know why and now they think that this is why they felt bad when they took the medication” (HCP 03) |
Cultural beliefs |
“. . . Some patients refuse because they always say that, for example, the vaccine that the government distributes serves to kill the population, especially the elderly.” (HCP 24) |
