Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Minister of Health Hon. Semano Sekatle received medical laboratory equipment aimed to capacitate the National Health Training Centre (NHTC) on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Donated by ICAP Lesotho, the equipment includes microscopes, laptops, printers and projectors. NHTC Director General Nthabiseng Molise, speaking at the handover ceremony, noted that this equipment is significant to<\/p>\n

the diploma laboratory science students. She appreciated the support, saying ICAP Lesotho is implementing the project called Expand Access to Quality Laboratory<\/p>\n

Services in the Kingdom of Lesotho. \u201cThe project provides technical assistance and support to the Ministry of Health (MoH) to improve access to quality<\/p>\n

laboratory services over a period of 5 years which started in 2020 to 2025 and it is funded by President\u2019s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR) through<\/p>\n

Centres for Disease Control and prevention (CDC). The objectives of this project are to improve laboratory infrastructure and human resource capacity to<\/p>\n

develop quality management system for laboratories and point of care testing sites as well as to strengthen laboratory information and data management<\/p>\n

systems to capture as well as retrace data,\u201d Molise declared. She said the equipment will enhance teaching and learning for both teachers and students in the teaching and<\/p>\n

learning environment and they will eventually benefit towards attainment of required competency. She said the aspired competency will eventually translate<\/p>\n

into improved quality laboratory services. ICAP Director Felix Ndangije indicated that human resource is identified as one of the key components of Lesotho\u2019s health<\/p>\n

system, to achieve sustainable HIV epidemic comfort. \u201cNHTC plays a key role in providing much needed human resources for medical laboratory services in<\/p>\n

Lesotho. This equipment will be used by teachers and students to improve their teaching and learning experience. Quality laboratory systems are critical in ensuring<\/p>\n

that we provide accurate results in testing and monitoring patient\u2019s treatment,\u201d he outlined. \u201cSo far, this partnership improved collaboration of medical laboratory system programs for provision of service<\/p>\n

training, quality management services as well as continuous professional development to contribute towards Lesotho\u2019s goal of reaching HIV epidemic comfort<\/p>\n

by 2030 in a sustainable manner,\u201d explained the Director. In his key note address, Hon. Sekatle highlighted that the equipment is needed mostly to enhance teaching and<\/p>\n

learning. He extended his gratitude to the government and the people of United States of America (USA) for their support in various ways through a number of<\/p>\n

agencies and NGOs for many programs including disease programs in Tuberculosis (TB), HIV\/AIDS and also in the program of nursing, teaching and education.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ministry has two major tasks which are to prevent and manage as well as to cure diseases, therefore, NHTC as a leading agency in addressing primary health will<\/p>\n

not be turned into a purely academic institution but remain frontline disease prevention and control agency. It will continue to produce appropriate and<\/p>\n

adequate skills to prevent and tackle primary health; as a result, these precious gifts came at the right time, at the opportune moment. We are in dire need of it and it will be put into good hands and good use,\u201d Sekatle said.<\/p>\n
