Lancet Laboratories - Kampala, Uganda

Lancet Laboratories Uganda is the leading provider of private diagnostic pathology services in Uganda. Incorporated and registered in Uganda since April 2009.

Lancet laboratories Uganda Ltd is part of the Lancet laboratories East Africa Group and has quality programs that have been approved by the group level in Kenya, South Africa, and Europe.

We participate in external quality assurance (EQA) programs with a body called Thistle and NHLS (National Health Laboratory Services SA) in which we have all our departments covered: Hematology, Chemistry, Immunology, Coagulation, Microbiology and Flow Cytometry.

These programs help us assess the accuracy of our results as compared to very many other labs around Africa.

We also have internal quality control which is run daily to assess

the precision of our results, and this covers all the departments and all the branches do participate in this program.

For some tests that are not covered by the EQA, the Inter-Laboratory Quality Assurance program (ILQA) covers that in which we refer our samples to other laboratories that have been accredited by international organisations and compare the results.

All our processes are audited from the sample collection to the time the results are sent out and this gives us a "check-in" to all our processes. Our Lab Information System (LIS) runs in unity real-time in which our Pathologists all around Africa can monitor the progress and advise accordingly and this boosts our quality systems.

Our staff are often given the opportunity to go for extensive training in Kenya and South Africa to remain updated regarding new practices, new technologies and information on the latest research.
