The Uganda SRL

A supranational reference laboratory is a laboratory that provides its services beyond national borders. The purpose of such a facility would be to complement in-country deficits in capacity. As such, The supranational reference laboratory Uganda serves as referral facility for national reference laboratories. We perform diagnostics deemed technically complex or that require equipment and human resource competencies that are not present in referring Member States. Examples include drug resistance testing for TB (MDR and XDR), and the detection of parasite resistance to medicines.
