The accuracy of recording malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) results in public health facilities in Benin; results from the MaCRA project

HCWs in Benin showed high accuracy in interpreting and reporting malaria RDT results, likely supported by recent nationwide RDT cassette validations. Performance was strongest among those with more experience, training, and adequate infrastructure. However, negative results misrecorded as positive, especially in adult patients, remains a concern. Targeted training and supportive supervision may help strengthen confidence in negative results and improve overall diagnostic accuracy.
