Objectives: To assess physicians' and nurses' satisfaction with the service provided by the laboratory at Gondar University Hospital.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 196 nurses and physicians.
Results: Overall level of satisfaction was 51.1% for nurses and 51.5% for physicians. Lack of consistency in the quality of laboratory work, absence of a timely report of critical values, test turnaround time, acceptability of results released, and reporting of reference ranges with test results were areas mentioned as sources of dissatisfaction.
Conclusions: The study showed wide room for improvement. In addition to taking intervention, root causes of dissatisfaction need to be investigated and means of improving the satisfaction level should be designed and implemented.
