SLMTA (Strengthening Research Laboratory Monitoring Toward Certification) is an extremely powerful device … development, that helps to create reliable research laboratories that support
the values of top quality guarantee. It additionally constructs ability of the staff. As well as also it brings the laboratories
to the levels of worldwide standards So SLMTA eventually it enhances the high quality of solutions to our individuals. In Uganda, SLMTA
has actually resulted in solid laboratories that meet international standards,
which have actually changed the total wellness system
in our resource-limited setup. COVID testing discovered
a solid top quality foundation that had actually already been built through SLMTA. This made implementation of COVID
screening that a lot easier. Through the support provided by CDC, ability has actually been constructed in Uganda
for training, auditing, and assessment.And currently there is assistance for developing a Uganda Qualification and Accreditation Body. As a result at CDC, we expect that this will certainly be a sustainable and on-going program for all public and also exclusive research laboratories in Uganda.
SLMTA as a training program falls under our top quality management system. It is just one of the areas that we collaborate as the laboratory division. We have a tiered network as the ministry of health, as the division, we supervise as well as collaborate any one of the systems in these various laboratories.Uganda was among the earliest
adopters of this program.
We began it in 2010.
With this training, we’ve involved over 150 research laboratories as well as out of these 150
laboratories, because of this training, we’ve had 34 get certified. SLMTA has truly changed the landscape of the lab sector.
