My name is Firehiwot, I am a Healthcare Extension Package Worker. When I suspect someone has malaria, to start with I take a blood sample from their finger. I put it in the Paracheck rapid test. After 15 minutes I check the result. If there is one line showing, it indicates that the result is positive.  The patient has the serious type of malaria which can go to the brain.
