THE Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) is concerned over the quality of some of the RTK Antigen test kits available in the market. There are about 17 RTK Antigen test kits that have been approved by the Medical Device Authority (MDA), but not all have been of acceptable quality.

MMA has been receiving complaints from a number of practitioners over some of the RTK Antigen test kits used for Covid-19 screening. Some of these kits have failed in detecting positive cases.
