in these various laboratories.Uganda was just one of the earliest adopters of
this program. We began it in 2010. Through this training, we have actually involved over 150 laboratories as well as out of these 150 labs, due to this training, we’ve had 34 obtain recognized. SLMTA has really transformed the landscape of the lab market
