Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find out how common transmissible malaria is among healthy blood donors in Jos, Nigeria.
- Results showed that malaria prevalence was highest among donors aged 31-40 years and predominantly caused by Plasmodium falciparum; paid donors had significantly higher rates than volunteers.
- The findings suggest a need for improved screening of blood donors in the region due to the high malaria rates found among them.
Background: Bungoma District Hospital Laboratory (BDHL), which supports a 200-bed referral facility, began its Strengthening Laboratory Management Toward Accreditation (SLMTA) journey in 2011 together with eight other laboratories in the second round of SLMTA rollout in Kenya.
Objectives: To describe how the SLMTA programme and enhanced quality interventions changed the culture and management style at BDHL and instilled a quality system designed to sustain progress for years to come.
Methods: SLMTA implementation followed the standard three-workshop series, mentorship site visits and audits.
Background: There is a worldwide shortage of qualified laboratory personnel to provide adequate testing for the detection and monitoring of diseases. In an effort to increase laboratory capacity in developing countries, new skills have been introduced into laboratory services. Curriculum revision with a focus on good laboratory practice is an important aspect of supplying entry-level graduates with the competencies needed to meet the current needs.
