Lancet Laboratories Expands MEDITECH Solution in Lesotho

Lancet Laboratories, a leading provider of pathology services throughout Africa, recently expanded its MEDITECH solution at its Lesotho location.

Lesotho, a small mountainous country within Southern Africa, is home to approximately two million people. The region faces many public health challenges related to low coverage of essential public health services and ailing public health institutions.

Together with MEDITECH, Lancet recently implemented MEDITECH’s core laboratory and administrative modules at its Lesotho branch. Whilst most of South Africa was gearing down for the festive season, the teams immediately started with the execution of the system setup, handing over a functional LIVE environment to Lancet Laboratories on the 23rd of January 2019 for final testing and verification. Go-LIVE was achieved on the 1st of February 2019.

Congratulations to the Lancet and MTSA teams on a successful implementation within such a short period of time.
