View Award Abstract

Laboratory services are a key component of any health system, providing essential diagnostic services so that clients receive appropriate care. Investment in stronger laboratory systems in resource-poor countries is critical to meet health needs across major diseases such as HIV/TB and to meet the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Over the last decade, PEPFAR and other implementing partners have played a leading role in helping low- and middle-income countries expand and transform their laboratory services to be more cost-effective, efficient, and responsive to patient needs. These investments resulted in stronger laboratory systems evidenced by improved infrastructure and equipment, availability of increased numbers of skilled human resources, and improved quality of laboratory services. It is plausible that these investments have made a tremendous contribution towards countries’ progress towards Universal Health Coverage. Despite the tremendous investments by PEPFAR and other partners, and progress made, serious gaps remains in laboratory service delivery worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, which has hampered success of many progress including HIV and TB. These inefficiencies have often limited clients’ access to high quality testing and resulted in long turnaround times for testing, hindering clinicians’ access to the critical diagnostic information needed for patient management. These inefficiencies also adversely affect patients’ ability to know their health status while at the same time increasing the cost of providing laboratory services. This project seeks to bridge some of the existing gaps by strengthening local and regional laboratory systems and networks to enhance access to quality-assured conventional and point-of-care (POC) HIV/TB-related laboratory and diagnostic services, emphasizing laboratory informatics/data systems and CQI approaches for POC testing sites, laboratories, the clinic laboratory interface, and across diagnostic systems. The project will also focus on capacity building for sustainable diagnostic systems capable of responding HIV/TB and other public health threats. The overall anticipated outcome of this project is the availability of adequate numbers of highly skilled laboratory & clinical professionals, including laboratorians, clinical staff, lay testers, & others who are responsible for the development and implementation of laboratory programs for prevention, care & treatment of HIV, TB, AHD, & other priority diseases. This will ensure that individuals affected by these conditions have access to quality assured services, for improved clinical outcomes, with a resultant reduction in morbidity and mortality of individuals affected by HIV/AIDS and other diseases.
