Public health research helps researchers understand the environmental, genetic, and social health determinants that influence population health. Research is crosscutting and disciplinary, and analyzes population samples including biological factors, biostatistics, epidemiology, and genetics. This allows researchers to identify characteristics that augment the prevalence of population health events, such as obesity, heart disease, and cancer.
Although public health research is conducted in various ways, including case-control studies, cross-cutting studies; cause-of-death registries (i.e., registries that list whether someone died from cancer, cardiovascular disease, or pneumonia, among other causes); and medical administrative databases, which data on individuals’ prior health appointments, medical procedures, diagnostic information, and past prescriptions are an invaluable source of big data.
Biomedical research is the broad area of science that looks for ways to prevent and treat diseases that cause illness and death in people and in animals. This general field of research includes many areas of both the life and physical sciences.
Utilizing biotechnology techniques, biomedical researchers study biological processes and diseases with the ultimate goal of developing effective treatments and cures. Biomedical research is an evolutionary process requiring careful experimentation by many scientists, including biologists and chemists. Discovery of new medicines and therapies requires careful scientific experimentation, development, and evaluation.
Interlaboratory comparisons (or sample exchanges) between laboratories are a method of monitoring laboratory performance which are suitable for accreditation purposes in certain defined circumstances, for example tests on very rare diseases where there are a small number of labs performing testing, and there are no EQA schemes available. Biolabs Red Services supports to develop interlaboratory schemes for clients, data processing templates through VBA programming, and report templates for laboratories.
We partner with ISO 17043 accredited EQA providers to support all it’s accreditation clients to meet requirements of ISO 15189, ISO 17025 and ISO 15195
GCP is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, GCP is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, recording and reporting clinical trials that ensures accurate and credible data while protecting the rights, safety and well-being of participants. We off a Good Clinical Practice E6 (R2a) course-BLS GCP-01-ICH at fair costs.
GLP is a quality system concerned with the organisational process and conditions under which non-clinical laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, archived and reported.
GCLP applies those standards established under GLP which are relevant to the analyses of samples from a clinical trial, whilst at the same time ensuring that the purpose and objectives of the GCP regulations are satisfied. In so doing, ‘the reliability and integrity of data generated by analytical laboratories can be assured’. RQA GCLP 2012. We offer an Introduction to Good Clinical Laboratory Practice course (BLS GCLP-01) and a 6 modular advanced certificate in Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (BLS GCLP-02).
Biolabs Red Services conducts training and audits on GCP and GCLP to prepare entities for inspection and certification.
The Government of Uganda (GoU) is committed to improving the quality of health services delivered to the population. This is derived from the enshrined Ministry of Health (MoH) mandate and commitment to accelerate attainment of universal health coverage (UHC) with a focus on primary healthcare (PHC) by the year 2030. The health sector revised and updated the National Quality Improvement framework to facilitate effective implementation of healthcare interventions and address current health service challenges
The MoH has embraced the 5S (Sort-Set-Shine-Standardize-Sustain) philosophy in regional referral hospitals & there is opportunity for scaling-up to other health sub-regional levels. Leadership involvement is greatly needed to support and operationalize the introduced quality improvement (QI) organizational structures.
Biolabs Red Services provides evidence based training on CQI for Health facilities, programs, to build capacity in using the Continuous Quality Improvement, Documentation and 5S approach for improved service delivery.
