Implication

This analysis identifies gaps in laboratory capacity for communicable diseases in Jordan, suggesting enhancements in governance and quality management systems.

Key Points

  • The mapping revealed the absence of a unified national laboratory strategic plan, indicating weaknesses in laboratory governance.
  • Key informant interviews and field visits across 27 laboratories highlighted both strengths and systemic challenges within Jordan's laboratory network.
  • A multi-method approach utilized thematic analysis and stakeholder engagement to evaluate the national laboratory framework and its alignment with standards.
  • To improve diagnostic reliability and preparedness, comprehensive reforms in quality management, workforce training, and regulatory frameworks are necessary.
