LANCET TANZANIA is a member of the internationally recognized Lancet Laboratories network in Africa. Established in August 2012 as an independent laboratory in Tanzania following success of the sister laboratory in Kenya, Lancet Tanzania has grown within the last 3 years to having over 12 service points (laboratories and collection points) in the whole of Tanzania by January 2015. Our services are offered directly to patients, their doctors/clinical groups and a wide array of clientele from corporate groups, NGOs, insurances, universities and research teams, and occupational health establishments. We also have a referral service to support other laboratories, clinics and hospitals. Lancet Tanzania aims to grow an extensive branch network with laboratories and patient service points across key population centers in Tanzania. We seek to grow our footprints through collaborative work with other laboratories and hospitals in all towns across the country from Dodoma to Mwanza, Arusha to Tanga and Zanzibar, as well as other parts of the country. In Kenya, we established in October 2009 and have expanded with 15 service points by 2012 to become the largest private independent laboratory network offering services directly to the public through our service points and referrals from other referring laboratories, clinics and hospitals that have networked or outsourced to us. Our Uganda operations has presence in 4 medical centres/hospitals in Kampala. Across all our sites, we implement quality and adhere to international standards of excellence. Our commitment is to ensure that any laboratory we open operates to international standards and is audited to these standards, as we extend our footprints in the region. Our clients have accessibility to over 3800 sophisticated routine and specialized tests from malaria to molecular diagnostics. We operate through close interaction with the local community that we serve, training and empowering local staff with our team from outside the country coming to implement and then withdrawing to leave the local team of experts to run the show. To this end, some of the local technologists have gone to Kenya and South Africa to train. All our laboratories are linked through a dedicated fibreoptic and wireless network that allows our pathologists to access, monitor, supervise and electronically sign out all reports in all our laboratories, thus ensuring that international expertise is injected in every result. Our clients have accessibility to over 3800 sophisticated routine and specialized tests from malaria to molecular diagnostics. We therefore operate as "Pathologists without Borders" to ensure that we give accurate and comprehensive results, whereby doctors and patients can call through a local number to consult with our experts on any result or inquiry simply by dialing locally to tap into our network.
