National Laboratory System
The National Laboratory System (NLS) comprises the Public Health Reference Laboratory, the Research Laboratory, Clinical Laboratories, the Animal Health Laboratory, the Environmental Health Laboratory (EHL) (food and water safety) both in public and private institutions, and the National Laboratory Network of Liberia (NLNL). All these institutions are under the One Health Platform, with the goal of providing high-quality, accurate, and timely laboratory-based information among network members in the NLS.
