In 1978, doctors in Papua New Guinea were questioned about their practice of haemoglobinometry. Forty one doctors carried out blood haemoblobin measurements themselves, 26 used the Sahli method, 26 used a photoelectric absorptiometer method and 9 used the AO/Spencer haemometer. Thirty doctors had no occasion to ever need a haemoglobin estimation and 58 referred blood elsewhere, mostly to a hospital laboratory. The relative advantages of the methods presently available in Papua New Guinea are discussed and the value of quality control emphasized.
1978年，巴布亚新几内亚的医生们被问及他们进行血红蛋白测定的情况。41名医生自己进行血液血红蛋白测量，26人使用萨利法，26人使用光电吸收计法，9人使用AO/斯宾塞血红蛋白计。30名医生从未有过进行血红蛋白测定的需要，58人将血液送到其他地方，大多是送到医院实验室。文中讨论了巴布亚新几内亚目前可用方法的相对优势，并强调了质量控制的重要性。
