The UNC-Project Malawi lab was presented with four-star status by the Honorable Minister of Health. Congratulations to our staff there, especially to lab directors Gerald Tegha and Rob Krysiak.
“Until recently, the Malawian capital of Lilongwe was without diagnostic pathology services, which left many patients with cancer facing serious diagnostic delays. Through collaboration with the University of North Carolina and other partners, a pathology laboratory was successfully established at Kamuzu Central Hospital in July, 2011, providing an essential foundation for cancer diagnosis and research in the country’s largest city.”
