Description

Improving access to quality-assured laboratory services is an essential aspect of the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland (GKOS) and PEPFAR’s response to the HIV and TB epidemics. Since 2009, PEPFAR has worked with the Swaziland Health Laboratory Services (SHLS) to support the expansion of Quality Management Systems (QMS) to all laboratories in the country. While important progress has been made, including towards implementation of a laboratory information system, no laboratory has yet achieved accreditation based on international standards. In addition, the SHLS lacks a standardized handbook defining the types of lab services that patients should expect to access at different levels of the health system. Such a handbook is essential to set expectations and measure progress towards decentralization.
