The National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) has over 300 laboratories that deliver pathology services to all public clinics and hospitals. For the purposes of the NHLS’ work, the laboratories are located in areas that are referred to as service regions, namely KwaZulu Natal, Mpumalanga and Limpopo, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Free State and North West and Gauteng to be announced.
NHLS has expanded from 4 to 6 regions as this positions the NHLS to be more responsive and effective in the way it does business.
New offices have been opened in Polokwane, Bloemfontein and East London which will enhance visibility, accessibility and service of the NHLS across the country and provide improved delivery to the most important stakeholder, the patient.
Area Managers have taken up their roles to head up each region effective 01 September 2013.
