Expanded access to HIV therapy in the developing world raises serious concerns regarding potential emergence and transmission of drug-resistant strains. Although drug resistance surveillance is recommended track transmitted among newly infected individuals, financial constraints resource-limited countries prohibit such on a regular basis. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently introduced guidelines address this issue.A survey was conducted Ethiopia following WHO assess HIV-infected...

Early diagnosis of infants infected with HIV (EID) and early initiation treatment significantly reduces the rate disease progression mortality. One challenges to identification HIV-1-infected is availability and/or access quality molecular laboratory facilities which perform virologic assays suitable for accurate status infants.We conducted a joint site assessment designed laboratories expansion DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing based on dried blood spot (DBS) EID in six regions...
Background: Laboratory services are essential at all stages of the tuberculosis care cascade, from diagnosis and drug resistance testing to monitoring response treatment. Enabling access quality is a challenge in low-resource settings. Implementation strong management system (QMS) laboratory accreditation key improving patient care.Objectives: The study objective was determine status QMS implementation progress towards National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratories (NTRLs) African...
Achievement of ISO15189 accreditation demonstrates competency a laboratory to conduct testing. Three programmes were developed facilitate achievement in low- and middle-income countries: Strengthening Laboratory Management Towards Accreditation (SLMTA), Stepwise Improvement Process (SLIPTA) Quality Implementation (LQSI).To determine the level associated barriers facilitators among medical laboratories WHO-AFRO region by 2020.A desk review SLIPTA SLMTA databases was conducted identify...
It is important for HCWs to remember that over 20 pathogens have been reportedly transmitted from needle stick injuries.The most serious are the transmission of Hepatitis C virus, B virus and Human immunodeficiency virus.World Health organization report showed 16,000 HCV, 66,000 HBV & 1000 HIV may occurred worldwide.Two million injuries reported in health care providers every year.This study was institution based cross-sectional conducted 10 Bahir Dar City public centres June October...
