The health service of Papua New Guinea is targeted at village level primary health care, through aid posts and health centres. There is an increasing demand for providing these facilities with basic diagnostic laboratory services at the health centre level. To accomplish this, an inservice training program has been established to train existing health workers in specific laboratory skills. A management support scheme has also been instigated to ensure that the most effective use is made of these laboratory-trained staff. This has created a team of rural laboratory workers to support the clinical management of patients in rural locations throughout Papua New Guinea.
巴布亚新几内亚的医疗服务以乡村一级的初级医疗保健为目标，通过援助站和医疗中心来提供。现在对在医疗中心层面为这些设施配备基本诊断实验室服务的需求日益增加。为实现这一目标，已制定了一项在职培训计划，对现有的医护人员进行特定实验室技能培训。还启动了一项管理支持计划，以确保能够最有效地利用这些经过实验室培训的工作人员。这造就了一支乡村实验室工作人员队伍，以支持巴布亚新几内亚各地乡村地区患者的临床管理。
