Controllab’s educational manager, Jos\u00e9 Poloni, is one of the professionals who is part of the Task Force on Global Lab Quality (TF-GLQ)<\/a><\/strong>. He emphasizes the relevance of the group and the importance of the knowledge exchange enabled by this integration:<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
– The TF-GLQ has a global perspective, but it is particularly focused on countries with greater economic difficulties, taking a structured, comprehensive, and collaborative approach to the implementation and monitoring of internal and external quality control programs in clinical laboratories. The importance of the group lies in its workforce dedicated to continuous training, scientific support, and the global expansion of quality control programs. Its distinguishing features include a methodology with a strong scientific basis and a commitment to the training and sustainability of the participating laboratories<\/em>, Poloni highlights.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
