Module aim
Microbiology, Parasitology and Laboratory Quality Management prepares health workers in Uganda to maintain microscopy and staining quality across the workload, and builds from there to operate a laboratory quality-management system and close out nonconformities.
What you will be able to do
- Explain core concepts, professional responsibilities and limits.
- Use structured assessment and reliable practical tools.
- Apply evidence-informed decisions with safety, ethics and escalation safeguards.
- Adapt safely to realistic Ugandan resource constraints.
- Communicate, document, reflect and improve performance.
