Diagnostic laboratory forms the backbone of health care systems and is often referred to as the "supreme court of medicine" because it provides timely, accurate information and evidence for patients' management. In sub-Saharan Africa, diagnostic laboratories are among the world's most ill-equipped and poorly resourced facilities despite the huge disease burden it carries. Only about 340 diagnostic laboratories were accredited in Africa out of which 312 (92%) are located in the southern part of Africa. The modern laboratory uses a high degree of automation. Many steps in the analytic process that were previously performed manually can now be performed automatically. This permits the operator to focus on tasks that cannot be readily automated and increases both efficiency and capacity. The analytic process can be divided into three major phases— pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic —corresponding to sample management, biochemical analysis, and post-analytical data management respectively.
Substantial improvements have occurred in all three areas in the past decade. The biochemical analytic phase is the most automated, and more research and development efforts are focusing on increasing automation of the pre-analytic and post-analytic processes as well.
