The Maputo Declaration of 2008 advocated for commitment from global stakeholders and national governments to prioritise support and harmonisation of laboratory systems through development of comprehensive national laboratory strategies and policies in sub-Saharan Africa. As a result, HIV laboratory medicine in Africa has undergone a transformation, and substantial improvements have been made in diagnostic services, networks, and institutions, including the development of a competent workforce, introduction of point-of-care diagnostics, and innovative quality improvement programmes that saw more than 1100 laboratories enrolled and 44 accredited to international standards. These improved HIV laboratories can now be used to combat emerging continental and global health threats in the decades to come. For instance, the unprecedented Ebola virus disease outbreak in west Africa exposed the severe weaknesses in the overall national health systems in affected countries. It is now possible to build robust health-care systems in Africa and to combat emerging continental and global health threats in the future. In this Personal View, we aim to describe the remarkable transformation that has occurred in laboratory medicine to combat HIV/AIDS and improve global health in sub-Saharan Africa since 2008.

2008 年以来非洲的检验医学:当时、现在和未来。

2008 年的马普托宣言倡导全球利益相关者和国家政府承诺通过在撒哈拉以南非洲制定全面的国家实验室战略和政策,优先支持和协调实验室系统。因此,非洲的 HIV 检验医学经历了转型,诊断服务、网络和机构都取得了重大改进,包括培养合格的劳动力、引入即时诊断和创新的质量改进1100 多个实验室注册和 44 个符合国际标准的项目。这些改进的 HIV 实验室现在可用于应对未来几十年新出现的大陆和全球健康威胁。例如,西非史无前例的埃博拉病毒病暴发暴露了受影响国家整体国家卫生系统的严重弱点。现在有可能在非洲建立健全的医疗保健系统,并在未来应对新出现的大陆和全球健康威胁。在这篇个人观点中,我们旨在描述自 2008 年以来在检验医学中发生的显着转变,以对抗艾滋病毒/艾滋病并改善撒哈拉以南非洲的全球健康。
