From Slide to Diagnosis: Implementing Effective Quality Control in Malaria Microscopy

Accurate malaria diagnosis depends on strong microscopy skills supported by robust quality control systems. This webinar explores practical and scalable approaches to enhancing diagnostic reliability across all levels of laboratory practice. Participants will learn key components of quality control in malaria microscopy including slide preparation, staining consistency, parasite detection and quantification, proficiency assessment and common sources of diagnostic error. Through real-world examples and evidence-based guidance, this session aims to strengthen confidence in results, improve laboratory performance, and support high-quality malaria case management.
