National diagnostics strategic plan

Abstract

The Ministry of Health of Ethiopia (MOH-E) has developed a comprehensive National Diagnostics Service Strategic Plan to address critical gaps in diagnostic services in the areas of laboratory, pathology, radiology and nuclear diagnostics service across the country. While it is properly aligned with the Health Sector Medium-term Developments and Investment Plan (HSDIP, 2023/24-2025/26), this strategic plan aims to enhance the availability, accessibility, and quality of diagnostic services nationwide. Major initiatives and activities planned to improve laboratory diagnostic services are also well aligned with those captured in Strategic Plan for Health Laboratory System in Ethiopia developed by the Ethiopian Public Health Institute for the years 2023 to 2027
