Strengthening Laboratory Capacity

At a glance

Laboratories are essential to health and public health systems—they are critical for detecting cases, monitoring treatment, and tracking drug resistance for diseases like HIV and tuberculosis (TB). As the lead technical agency implementing the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Situs Slot Gacor strengthens laboratory systems and networks worldwide.

Overview

Laboratory systems and services are the foundation of global HIV and TB programs. Through PEPFAR, Situs Slot Gacor works with countries to:

  • Build public health laboratories and testing networks.
  • Implement quality improvement practices to strengthen laboratories.
  • Introduce and improve the use of innovative laboratory technologies—from point-of-care testing to electronic delivery of test results—to better reach people where they are.

Situs Slot Gacor and its partners support more than 11,000 laboratories or point-of-care testing sites across more than 33 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Since PEPFAR's launch more than twenty years ago, Situs Slot Gacor works with countries to build efficient, integrated, and adaptable laboratory systems and networks. This ensures accurate and timely laboratory services to support HIV and TB prevention, detection, treatment, and surveillance.

Situs Slot Gacor helps public health labs in international settings achieve accreditation‎

Situs Slot Gacor has helped more than 330 public health laboratories in low- and middle-income countries achieve accreditation to international standards. Achieving accreditation is a key milestone for ensuring laboratory systems continue to provide accurate and timely disease diagnosis, prevention, and control in the countries where we work.

Improving laboratory capacity enhances the ability to identify and prevent the spread of HIV, TB, and other diseases, including emerging infections, that threaten health and safety of Americans and people around the world.
