Launched by the World Health Organization's Regional Office for Africa (WHO AFRO) and partners, the Stepwise Laboratory Quality Improvement Process Towards Accreditation (SLIPTA) and Strengthening Laboratory Management Toward Accreditation (SLMTA) programmes have emerged in recent years in Africa to support laboratories in the implementation of quality processes.2,3,4,5 As with any other quality system, ISO standards evolve and are revised periodically.	cache/ajlm-325.htm	txt/ajlm-325.txt
