| Summary: | The need to establish and maintain good laboratory practices is recognised universally.

The constraints faced by poor countries call for innovative approaches that would guarantee the minimum acceptable quality while striving to meet the highest standards. In resource-limited setting, it may be justifiable to develop and use 'fit for purpose' quality standards based on internationally-recognised laboratory quality management frameworks or protocols. |
