A collaborative space for Laboratory Professionals within The Global Health Network
Aim
Global Health Laboratories is a free, open-access online professional community designed to support laboratory researchers and staff working in global health, particularly in resource-limited settings. The platform enables professionals to exchange practical knowledge, share experiences, and access high-quality, peer-reviewed resources on all aspects of laboratory practice. Created to foster collaboration and support laboratory research in developing countries, it serves as a hub for sharing methods, tools, protocols, and training opportunities. By connecting laboratories across diverse settings and disease areas, Global Health Laboratories promotes equitable access to quality research resources and supports the implementation of Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP). All content contributed by fellow researchers and laboratory staff is reviewed by an expert panel to ensure quality, reliability, and relevance.
The range of resources and facilities on this website includes:
- Laboratory protocols, SOPs, templates and guidelines
- A comprehensive online training facility that includes recorded webinars and seminars, downloadable courses and teaching resources and a set of high-quality certificated GCLP e-learning courses
- A professional network for laboratory managers, researchers and staff to share experiences and seek peer support, advice and guidance
- Laboratory quality management resources
