National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS)

The transformation process started in June 1999, aiming at uniting the fragmented public health laboratory services, avoiding duplication of services resulting in wastage and cost-inefficiency and, most importantly, creating a world-class health laboratory service accessible to all South Africans in all corners of the country. The main players of the NHLS have proven track records not only nationally, but are highly renowned in the international healthcare field.
