This web location is the ISO-15189 Laboratory Quality Management resource site for NDOH diagnostic laboratories in PNG, including CPHL and the Blood Transfusion Service. Access is provided to the National Laboratory Quality Manual , its associated documents and templates and to Pathology section-specific operating procedures and associated documents.
The Diagnostic Laboratory page specifies the function (e.g. opening hours, tests provided) and structure (key staff, organisational structure) that each laboratory needs to document and display locally.
This is also the information site for the office of the Chief Pathologist and diagnostic pathology in general.
Documents made available on this site are provided free of copyright and can be adapted for local use with acknowledgement.
We would appreciate receiving notice of plans to make use of them outside of PNG- please contact chief.pathologistndoh[at]gmail.com.
