In early 2019, the Pakistan Academy of Sciences together with the Pakistani National Institutes of Health, published Handbook on Good Clinical Laboratory Practices in Pakistan. It serves as an informational guide for clinical laboratories with the aim of improving the health and well-being of people, animals, and the environment in Pakistan. To develop a plan for further implementation of the key concepts and practices outlined in the Handbook across the diverse landscape of Pakistani human and animal clinical labs, the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and the Pakistan Academy of Sciences convened a workshop in Doha, Qatar on the campus of Georgetown University in Qatar from October 22-24, 2019. Approximately 30 attendees from Pakistan and the United States reviewed key areas for development and improvement in laboratories across Pakistan, identifying challenges to implementation, and analyzing practical steps that can be taken at the local, provincial, and national levels to overcome those challenges. This publication highlights the presentations of the workshop.
