Roche Diagnostics Africa and the African Society for Laboratory Medicine (ASLM) have announced the launch of a three-year partnership to elevate laboratory leadership and improve access to quality diagnostic services across the continent.
The initiative, titled LEAD: Leadership Excellence for African Diagnostics, brings together health ministries, laboratory directors, academic partners and technical experts to develop a new generation of capable, connected and future-ready lab leaders, according to a statement by the company.
“In a time where we need African healthcare systems to become less reliant on external funding sources, we are focused on increasing domestic diagnostics capacity more than ever,” said Allan Pamba, executive vice president, Diagnostics, Africa, at Roche Diagnostics.
