Résumé :
|
A newly developed policy-formulation methodology carried out under the aegis of the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe “Better Labs for Better Health” initiative was launched in 2012. The aim was to drive long-term planning and sustainability and ensure quality laboratory services. The methodology has already resulted in national laboratory policies in Republic of Moldova and Tajikistan and similar work is in progress in two other countries. National laboratory policy documents are developed over one year in three phases. Preparatory activities of phase 1 include the establishment and formal endorsement of an intersectoral national laboratory working group (NLWG) which reflects the One Health concept and performs a laboratory system assessment. Development of the policy in phase 2 occurs over three workshops during which a vision for laboratory services is developed, policy topics are identified, policy statements are formulated and an inventory of documents pertaining to the laboratory system is established. Policy endorsement is sought during phase 3 through consultation with stakeholders and submission of the draft policy to the government. Throughout all phases, the NLWG is mentored and trained in the evidence-informed, consensus-based policy development. The policies developed are nationally owned and consistent with other national policies in related fields. The NLWGs have become a critical platform of changemaking senior laboratory experts and the information generated forms an essential resource for all those interested in supporting the improvement of laboratory services
