It is an analysis laboratory that the Department of Health of the Malagasy Lutheran Church (SALFA) opened on October 2, 2006.

Depsite the inadequate and basic equipment that exist it could start to work.

It takes care of the basic analysis such as Biochemistry, Serology, Parasitology, Hematology and Urinalysis.

Objective:
To offer to the doctors and to the patients the possibility of having access to results of quality at accessible prices to be able to serve the greatest number.

Present situation:
The persons who come for analysis to the SALFA Lab increase in number. Because of lack of equipment, we are not yet able to do Bacteriology. The equipments for laboratory are very expensive and we cannot afford them. We need an Automat for Biochemistry, Distillatory, Pack for Bacteriology. An ELISA System is to come. Thanks to the financial help, some American Churches did.

We are very thankful to those who took part directly or indirectly for the good unfolding of this Laboratory by offering supplies laboratory to us, money to buy materials laboratory.
