The Global Lab Quality Initiative (GLQI) partners with national societies to improve the quality of laboratory testing worldwide.
The program includes the following:
- Workshops in quality control and method verification topics held in Latin America and the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region in close collaboration with national clinical chemistry associations.
- Newborn Screening Program that provides a platform for laboratory professionals and policymakers outside the U.S. to discuss newborn screening for biomedical genetic disorders, covering the technical and regulatory requirements for a successful newborn screening program.
- Webinars in Spanish that are available to watch on demand.
These projects are generously supported by the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation (WHCF).
