1 Building Laboratory Networks in Africa Linda M. Parsons, Ph.D. International ti Laboratory Branch Division of Global AIDS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Atlanta, GA, USA

2 Presentation Outline Strategies to build sustainable quality laboratory systems and infrastructures in resource-limited settings Increased support and advocacy for strengthening integrated laboratory systems Integrated disease diagnostics (TB/HIV/Malaria/Clinical bio-monitoring) Need for coordinated d support from implementing partners Public / private Clinical trials / surveillance / public health diagnostic systems

3 Global programs on Prevention, Care & Treatment Laboratory is critical component of health systems strengthening: Prevention: Clinical trials Surveillance Clinical diagnosis and staging of disease Blood safety Screening Laboratory Support Outbreak investigation Biosecurity

4 Vision: Strengthen laboratory capacity as part of health systems in PEPFAR-supported countries Build sustainable integrated laboratory capacity Provide quality, rapid, accurate, affordable, diagnostic tests Effective implementation of prevention, surveillance and treatment programs across diseases

8 DISEASES OF PUBLIC HEALTH IMPORTANCE Training/Retention Strengthen Laboratory Capacity TIERED LABORATORY SERVICES CROSS-CUTTING STREAMS Linked Referral Services Logistics and Commodities Management Facility & Equipment Maintenance Quality Assurance TB H IV Malaria Immunization INTEGRATED SERVICE DELIVERY

9 Major Challenges in Strengthening Laboratory Systems to Support Global Health HIV/TB/Malaria Programs 1. Human capacity Limited number of trained and skilled personnel Lack of adequate training programs 2. Infrastructure Inadequate supply of electricity and water Physical infrastructure Lack of equipment, supply chain management for consumables and reagents, and maintenance 3. Lack of policies, advocacy, and leadership Lack of laboratory systems No policy No governmental standards for laboratory testing 4. Need for better coordination of partner support

15 Strengthening Laboratory Infrastructure in Ethiopia i using an Integrated t Approach The Ethiopia National Reference Laboratory: TB, HIV, AI

16 Establishment of the African Centre for Integrated Laboratory Training i 1-3 week trainings in hands-on laboratory techniques Located on campus of NICD in Johannesburg start up mid 2008 Courses based on country needs assessments TB culture and DST DNA PCR for Early Infant Diagnosis of HIV Laboratory Management Commodities Management Biosafety and Laboratory Infrastructure

17 Development and Implementation of a National Laboratory Strategic Plan Goal to establish national quality assured networks of tiered laboratory services Establish a national strategic planning and policy working committee Establish a national laboratory technical working committee to advise MOH

18 Essential Components of a National Laboratory Strategic t Plan Establish minumum standards d for laboratory testing ti Develop human resources Strengthen laboratory capacity Link tiered laboratory services Ensure continuous supply of laboratory commodities Establish program for facility and equipment maintenance Establish roles, responsibilities and accountability Establish targeted health goals that will provide indicators of success

19 Clear indicator/milestones are critical for implementing a Lab Strategic Plan Objective: To develop a comprehensive quality management system in the country 75% of laboratories at all levels l equipped as defined in the strategic plan by the end of 2012? All level 5 laboratories accredited to the ISO by the end of 2012? Quality Assurance and Continuous Quality Improvement Program for laboratory services validated by all laboratories in compliance with the relevant standards for operation by 2012?
