Global Laboratory Initiative
What is it?
The Global Laboratory Initiative (GLI) is a program set up by the Probitas Foundation in 2010 with the aim of reinforcing the capacities of clinical diagnostic laboratories in the most vulnerable regions of the world.
It is a sustainable model which allows for worldwide health problems, such as tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), and chronic diseases, to be correctly diagnosed and treated with the methods and techniques applied in developed countries. In addition, Probitas co-ordinates, guides, and trains the local technicians so that they can become self-sufficient.
The main issue is to curb morbi-mortality and poverty by addressing the shortcomings of the existing healthcare services, particularly those of the clinical diagnostic laboratories.
The Probitas Foundation's GLI program not only upgrades laboratories and provides diagnostic equipment, but also trains technical staff to ensure they are familiar with the latest techniques so that they can offer reliable results that lead to effective treatment.
