External quality assurance (EQA) network in South and South-East Asia: experience and results from an international EQA programme in One Health sector reference laboratories
Laboratory capacity development and quality assurance in a microbiology laboratory are of particular importance especially in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and One Health surveillance. The EQASIA programme has the potential to validate laboratories' performance in detecting important One Health pathogens, generating reliable data for effective surveillance to curb AMR.
