Task sharing for point-of-care testing
World Health Organization recommends task sharing (TS) for point-of-care testing (POCT) with lay health workers (LHW) to improve access when professional capacity is limited. Despite many benefits of POCT, TS remains underutilized. This study examined uptake of TS for POCT in national policies and the implementation landscape in 19 African countries from November 2024 to March 2025. A mixed-methods approach included an online cross-sectional surv…
Diagnostics for detection and surveillance of priority epidemic-prone diseases in Africa
In 2023, Africa experienced 180 public health emergencies, of which 90% were infectious diseases and 75% were related to zoonotic diseases. Testing capacity for epidemic-prone diseases is essential to enable rapid and accurate identification of causative agents, and for action to prevent disease spread. Moreover, testing is pivotal in monitoring disease transmission, evaluating public health interventions and informing targeted resource allocatio…
Implementation of Covid-19 Laboratory Testing Certification Program (CoLTeP) in African Region
Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 was declared a global pandemic in March 2020 with correct and early detection of cases using laboratory testing central to the response. Hence, the establishment of quality management systems and monitoring their implementation are critical. This study describes the experience of implementing the COVID-19 Laboratory Testing and Certification Program (CoLTeP) in Africa. Methods: Private and public laboratories …
Laboratory capacity building for the International Health Regulations (IHR[2005]) in resource-poor countries
Laboratory is one of the core capacities that countries must develop for the implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHR[2005]) since laboratory services play a major role in all the key processes of detection, assessment, response, notification, and monitoring of events. While developed countries easily adapt their well-organized routine laboratory services, resource-limited countries need considerable capacity building as many g…
