The News – An organization in Cambodia has developed a box which remains cool for a longer time thus keeping the rapid diagnostic tests for malaria effective especially in remote hot tropical countries.
The Good – The solution is not very expensive and has been found to be at least effective for 150 days more compared to the older solution. The underlying principles for cooling have been used before and require very little energy and power supplies. Has potential in other areas as well if found effective.
The Challenge – Needs to be tested in dusty environments and also temperatures beyond 42 degrees Celsius (up to which this solution has been tested).
