SLMTA (Enhancing Lab Administration Toward Certification) is a really powerful tool … innovation, that assists to create reliable laboratories that uphold
the values of quality control. It also builds capability of the team. As well as additionally it brings the labs
to the levels of international criteria So SLMTA inevitably it enhances the top quality of services to our individuals. In Uganda, SLMTA
has actually led to solid research laboratories that meet global criteria,
which have in fact changed the total health system
in our resource-limited setup. COVID testing discovered
a solid high quality structure that had already been constructed via SLMTA.
This made execution of COVID
screening that a lot less complicated. Through the assistance given by CDC, capacity has actually been developed in Uganda
for training, bookkeeping, and evaluation. As well as currently there is assistance
for developing a Uganda Accreditation
and Accreditation Body. For that reason at CDC, we prepare for that
this will be a lasting and on-going program for all public
and private labs in Uganda. SLMTA as a training program drops under our high quality administration system. It is among the locations that we work with
as the lab department. We have a tiered network as the ministry
of health and wellness, as the division, we supervise as well as coordinate any of the systems
in these various research laboratories. Uganda was just one of
the earliest adopters of this program. We started it in 2010. Through
this training, we’ve entailed over 150 research laboratories
as well as out of these 150 laboratories, because of this training, we have actually had actually 34 get certified. SLMTA has really altered
the landscape of the laboratory sector.
