DTLab (Dutch TB Laboratory partnership)

In the Netherlands there is a significant amount of TB laboratory expertise available. KIT, KNCV and RIVM all have long-time and complementary experience in international TB-control. Together they are able to support a large range of specific components in the field of TB laboratory services.

Support
KIT, KNCV and RIVM have now joined forces and have established DTLab: the Dutch TB Laboratory Partnership. DTLab aims to contribute in a collaborative manner to the challenges on all components of TB laboratory diagnostic services. It does so by providing support to capacity building of laboratories and the systems in which they operate. It is doing this in both a pro-active way by generating ideas as well as in a re-active manner by responding to any requests. DTLab’s interventions are tailor-made, evidence-based and are designed to maintain and enhance local ownership and sustainability.

The advantage for people or institutes seeking support is that there is one contact point for every client. The DTLab front office will channel the request to the most appropriate DTLab partner(s) and the client will receive a proposal from the three members together on how we can address your needs. Selection of laboratory experts is not restricted to DTLab’s member organizations: we can tap from our own organizations, or recruit from other organizations, including those from developing countries.
