SLMTA (Strengthening Laboratory Monitoring Toward Certification) is a very effective device … development, that aids to develop efficient labs that uphold
the values of quality control. It also constructs ability of the personnel. As well as likewise it brings the laboratories
to the degrees of international requirements So SLMTA inevitably it enhances the top quality of services to our people. In Uganda, SLMTA
has actually caused strong laboratories that fulfill worldwide standards,
which have really changed the total health system
in our resource-limited setting. COVID screening located
a solid top quality foundation that had already been constructed via SLMTA. This made application of COVID
screening that much easier. With the assistance offered by CDC, ability has been integrated in Uganda
for training, auditing, and evaluation. As well as currently there is support
for developing a Uganda Qualification
as well as Accreditation Body. As a result at CDC, we anticipate that
this will be a sustainable and on-going program for all public
as well as exclusive laboratories in Uganda. SLMTA as a training program drops under our high quality monitoring system.It’s one of
the areas that we work with
as the laboratory division. We have a tiered network as the ministry
of health, as the department, we manage and also work with any one of the systems
in these different laboratories. Uganda was among
the earliest adopters of this program. We started it in 2010. With
this training, we have actually involved over 150 labs
and also out of these 150 labs, as a result of this training, we have actually had 34 get accredited. SLMTA has really changed
the landscape of the laboratory industry.
