Summary: | The ASM report [3] describes several opportunities to enhance laboratory services in developing countries, with 2 opportunities of particular note: (1) improvement in the understanding of and knowledge about countries developing, implementing, and evaluating the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief program and the Global AIDS Program to address the critical need for adequate laboratory systems to support the goals of these programs, both for diagnosis of HIV infection and for clinical management of patients; and (2) encouragement of polio laboratories, where feasible, to address laboratory needs of the highest priority in these countries. |
