Strengthening of hospital laboratories on Pemba Island (Zanzibar).
DESCRIZIONE PROGETTO

The services offered by hospital laboratories are an integral part of the health system of a country. The effectiveness of diagnosis, prevention strategies, treatment and research for health promotion are based on the accuracy of the tests performed in the laboratory. Given their importance in improving the health conditions of the population, it was considered important to intervene at different levels to support the workshops. The project aims to increase the diagnostic services offered by the hospital of Chake Chake, the main island of Pemba, and then later extended to the other three on the island (Micheweni, Mkoani, Wete). At the same time it will strengthen the role of the Public Health Laboratory Ivo de Carneri (Public Health Laboratory Ivo de Carneri PHL-IdC), which will act as a support to hospital laboratories for testing of the second level.

CONTESTO

In the main district of Pemba (Chake Chake) was built and has been active since 2000, the Public Health Laboratory Ivo de Carneri (Public Health Laboratory Ivo de Carneri PHL-IdC), inserted into the local health system, equipped for the monitoring of programs control of endemic diseases, operations research and training, recognized since 2005 Collaborating Centre of the World health Organization for schistosomiasis and intestinal parasitic infections and since 2010 the national reference laboratory for tuberculosis. This project was born from the need to strengthen the diagnosis of hospital laboratories, using, in support of the hospitals themselves, the PHL-IdC as a reference to the second level for the laboratory tests.
