Report on the External Evaluation of The Epidemiological Laboratory (EpiLab) Khartoum, Sudan
LHL has provided long-term support to lung health services in Sudan and in other nations. In Sudan, LHL supports the National Tuberculosis Programme (SNTP) and the Sudan Tuberculosis Patients Association (STPA) and the Epidemiological Laboratory (EpiLab) with funds derived from its own resources and with the support of NORAD (Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation). This three partner programme aims to maintain the reliable delivery of essential public health services to the population (SNTP); that are responsive to the needs and wishes of those affected by tuberculosis (STPA); and able to ensure good quality and adaptation to emerging and changing needs (EpiLab). The Epidemiological Laboratory (EpiLab) was established in Khartoum, Sudan in 2005 as an independent, non-government, non-profit organisation. Its goal is to carry out operational research in public health and to identify, characterise and prioritise challenges to health status and health services delivery and to devise and demonstrate feasible strategies to overcome obstacles and improve the quality and effectiveness of health care delivery.
