In some places clinics lack the equipment to perform a simple test known as a blood smear. In others a large portion of the health budget is needed for other emergencies, resulting in a shortage of insecticides and medicines. Sometimes it is an issue of profit.
Katika baadhi ya maeneo kliniki hukosa vifaa vya kufanyia uchunguzi rahisi unaojulikana kama smear ya damu. Katika maeneo mengine sehemu kubwa ya bajeti ya afya inahitajika kwa ajili ya dharura nyingine, na kusababisha uhaba wa viua wadudu na madawa. Wakati mwingine ni suala la faida.
