The recommendations of the World Health Organization for the assessment of medical laboratories

The paper presents information about the importance of laboratory services for the effective treatment process of patients. Monitoring and evaluating the laboratory services themselves remains an urgent task. Solving the problem requires a standardized approach and methodology. To solve this problem, the World Health Organization has developed a document. The document is a guide for evaluating individual laboratories and the national laboratory system. The document describes the general procedure for evaluating laboratories and contains questionnaires. Questionnaires are used to evaluate the national laboratory system and specifically individual laboratories.
