• PROBLEM• 60% in Rural Areas
• Cannot be linked to central services
• Persisting Issues related to reliability of diagnostic services
• SOLUTION• Laboratory Quality improvement tools ( LQITS)
• Targeted Mentoring approach
• Strengthen the pre-analytical, analytical and post analytical stages of total diagnostic process

LQIT• Initial LQIT scores used as
baseline
• Labs visited on a regular basis and graded• Quality of services provided
• Personal skill/knowledge level
• Tailored site-specific interventions during TA visits
• Improvements in the quality of tests for diagnostics monitored
![Page 11: Juliana Hagembe - Institute of Human Virology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, USA](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555ecb5cd8b42af67f8b5364/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Major gap in the primary laboratories by LQIT
• Better planning of trainings
• Continual development/ maintenance of quality
• Step closer to meeting international accreditation (e.g. WHO-AFRO)
