Malaria is a life-threatening disease transmitted by mosquitoes and caused by Plasmodium parasites. Early diagnosis through a malaria test is crucial to avoid complications. In Delhi, where mosquito-borne diseases are common during monsoon and post-monsoon seasons, timely testing is essential for both prevention and treatment.

Microscopic Examination (Blood Smear Test): The gold standard test, where blood is observed under a microscope for parasites.
Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT): Provides results within 15–30 minutes using a drop of blood.
