Laboratory errors are a leading source of diagnostic harm. Georgia’s clinical laboratory sector lacks a universal quality standard. PHIG and ASF make the case for ISO 15189.
This PHIG analysis covers key evidence and policy dimensions relevant to public health in Georgia and the South Caucasus region, drawing on WHO, ILO, Geostat, and other authoritative sources.
PHIG’s analytical work is grounded in peer-reviewed literature, international health data, and direct programme experience. All analyses are independently produced.
