Training in the laboratory of Annunciation HospitalA core team of nine staff from Enugu was trained as master trainers, from which four were selected tobe state representatives. These and staff from other states were trained with international support.The master trainers trained 43 laboratory staff and 71 facility staff (the latter only in the use of RapidDiagnostic Tests for malaria). A set of standard operating procedures were developed and a rangeof equipment and reagents were procured, centred on improving TB, malaria and Hb estimationdiagnosis.To test the effectiveness of the training, but more importantly to determine the quality of the slideresults, a Quality Assurance Scheme was developed using Annunciation Specialist Hospital’s laboratoryas the reference laboratory.46 PATHS Final Programme Report
