Medical laboratory practice in Malawi - Current status.
Medical practice has evolved over the past years from symptom-based clinical diagnoses to evidence-based diagnoses demanding clinical laboratory investigations. Clinical experts at the Mayo Clinic in the United States estimated that almost 70% of patient management decisions rely on laboratory diagnostic information.1,2 In sub-Saharan Africa, the need for quality diagnostic services is apparent; nevertheless, access to quality and reliable laboratory services in the region has been a big challenge.3
期刊介绍:
The African Journal of Laboratory Medicine, the official journal of ASLM, focuses on the role of the laboratory and its professionals in the clinical and public healthcare sectors,and is specifically based on an African frame of reference. Emphasis is on all aspects that promote and contribute to the laboratory medicine practices of Africa. This includes, amongst others: laboratories, biomedical scientists and clinicians, medical community, public health officials and policy makers, laboratory systems and policies (translation of laboratory knowledge, practices and technologies in clinical care), interfaces of laboratory with medical science, laboratory-based epidemiology, laboratory investigations, evidence-based effectiveness in real world (actual) settings.
