Abstract
The quality assurance of malaria microscopy unit was established by National Malaria Control Program, Ministry of Health (MoH) in 2009 to respond to the internal malaria microscopy validation process, in microscopy training for malaria diagnosis in the country, monitoring and supervision, and other relevant activities regarding laboratory diagnosis of malaria in Timor-Leste is described. Trained laboratory technicians who are working in the relevant unit. There are two ways of malaria microscopy validation process such as onsite validation and monthly validation after received malaria blood smear from senior analyst at the municipality level. The aim of this work is to describe the quality assurance of malaria microscopy system in Timor-Leste. The management of quality assurance service support, the importance of quality assurance of malaria microscopy, the role of quality assurance of malaria microscopy, challenge and opportunities encountered by quality assurance microscopy unit, National Health Laboratory are highlighted. Key words: Quality assurance of malaria microscopy, system, Timor-Leste.
