Reasons for Different Laboratory Results in Northern Sudan (Case Study in Merowe)

The quality of a laboratory depends on accuracy, reliability, and timely reporting of test results. Laboratory results must be as accurate as possible, all aspects of laboratory operations must be reliable, and reports must be submitted in a timely manner so that they are useful at clinical or public health sites. In a quality management system, all practical aspects of the laboratory, including organizational structure, processes and procedures, should be quality assurance oriented.
