SLMTA (Strengthening Lab Administration Towards Certification) is a really effective device … development, that helps to create effective laboratories that maintain
the values of quality control. It additionally develops capacity of the personnel. And likewise it brings the labs
to the levels of global standards So SLMTA eventually it enhances the high quality of solutions to our individuals. In Uganda, SLMTA
has resulted in solid labs that satisfy international standards,
which have really transformed the general wellness system
in our resource-limited setting. COVID testing discovered
a solid quality structure that had already been built via SLMTA. This made execution of COVID
testing that a lot easier. Through the support provided by CDC, ability has been constructed in Uganda

this will certainly be a sustainable as well as on-going program for all public
and personal labs in Uganda. SLMTA as a training program drops under our top quality management system. It is among the locations that we collaborate
as the laboratory department.We have a tiered
network as the ministry of wellness, as the department, we supervise as well as coordinate any one of the systems in these different research laboratories. Uganda was among the earliest adopters of this program. We started it in 2010. Via this training, we’ve included over 150 labs and out of these 150 labs, as a result of this training, we have actually had 34 obtain certified. SLMTA has actually truly changed the landscape of the lab market
