About the research project
This will evaluate diagnostic accuracy, operational issues, cost-effectiveness, and test turnaround times in a realistic setting in two Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. Additionally, it will investigate whether rectal swab samples can expedite test turnaround times compared to bulk stool samples, while maintaining high diagnostic accuracy.
