Achieving, maintaining and improving accuracy, timeliness and reliability are major challenges for health laboratories. Countries worldwide committed themselves to build national capacities for the detection of, and response to, public health events of international concern when they decided to engage in the International Health Regulations implementation process. Only sound management of quality in health laboratories will enable countries to produce test results that the international community will trust in cases of international emergency. This handbook was developed through collaboration between the WHO Lyon Office for National Epidemic Preparedness and Response, the United States of America Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Laboratory Systems, and the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). It is based on training sessions and modules provided by the CDC and WHO in more than 25 countries, and on guidelines for implementation of ISO 15189 in diagnostic laboratories, developed by CLSI. This handbook is intended to provide a comprehensive reference on Laboratory Quality Management System for all stakeholders in health laboratory processes, from management, to administration, to bench-work laboratorians. This handbook covers topics that are essential for quality management of a public health or clinical laboratory. They are based on both ISO 15189 and CLSI GP26-A3 documents. Each topic is discussed in a separate chapter. The chapters follow the framework developed by CLSI and are organized as the "12 Quality System Essentials".

This book strives to provide the basic fundamental background knowledge by which a learner can be introduced to these practices and to serve as a resource for laboratory personnel and building up of a concept. This book will also be helpful for health care providers. For well-established operations and for standards of accreditation of clinical laboratories is extremely involved in basic analysis, quality control, employee competencies, and cost-effective strategies of operation. The book contains chapters on1.Human anatomy and physiology2.Hematology and Blood Banking3.Clinical Pathology4.Medical BiochemistryHuman anatomy and physiology chapters serve the knowledge of the structure and function of a healthy human body and the changes which take place when disease interferes with normal processes. Hematology is a branch of science deals with study of blood, its components and changes it undergoes during illness. While blood banking is a science which deals with collecting, testing and transfusing blood and its products for replacement of lost blood. Clinical Pathology is a basic subject in laboratory science which deals with examination of various body fluids / Excreta for presence of multiple factors like chemical, biological and physical as cause or effect of illness. Biochemistry (medical) is a study of chemical components of human body. Estimation of chemical molecules is essential to know disease process at molecular level and thus biochemistry help us to identify abnormal function at earlier stage of diseases and it is also useful for prognostic purpose. The book can be considered as a source of information/ academic performance for students, and personnel's in the discipline of clinical pathology and laboratory medicine, and for physicians and laboratory practitioners. Color illustrations have been used throughout the book to accurately, realistically depict to provide clear image of subject.
