Medicine Quality Testing Laboratory in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

Synthetic dataset modelling medicine quality testing laboratory capacity, equipment, methods, and performance across three lab tiers in SSA. Only a small number of LMIC laboratories meet ISO 17025 or WHO PQ standards.

Parameterization Evidence

Parameter	Value	Source	Year
ISO 17025 accreditation impact in SSA	Accreditation	BMC Health Services	2020
Few LMIC labs meet ISO 17025 or WHO PQ	Capacity	USP PQM	2018
WHO PQ laboratory requirements	Standards	WHO	2023

Validation

Usage
