Inability of Rapid Medical Diagnostic Kits to Match Up to Microscopy Diagnosis Results Deters Market

The inability of rapid medical diagnostic kits to eliminate the need for microscopy diagnosis has been a huge challenge. Currently, patients are unable to rely on the results these diagnostic kits offer. For instance, lack of data about infectious diseases, parasites, and other parameters provided by rapid medical diagnostic kits is compelling patients to opt for microscopy diagnosis. The sales of rapid medical diagnostic kits are also being hampered due to the lack of knowledge about operating them due to a high rate of illiteracy in the developing nations.
