1⃣ How to reduce the burden of misdiagnosis in sub-Saharan Africa?

Misdiagnosis is due to the lack of tests & difficulty distinguishing one disease from another based on symptoms alone. This often leads to ineffective treatment and increased antimicrobial drug resistance.

4⃣ The DIDIDA project presents a promising solution by enabling the development of low-cost, easy-to-use tests that can detect multiple diseases at once.

This will help break the vicious cycle of misdiagnosis and mistreatment.
