Effective disease surveillance relies on timely, accurate, and accessible laboratory information. As health threats grow, laboratories are crucial for detecting risks, supporting diagnoses, and informing response efforts.

This video introduces SILAB, a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) that digitizes the complete lab workflow, from sample reception to reporting. SILAB enhances sample traceability, enables real-time reporting, and strengthens interoperability between laboratories and other health information systems.

These capabilities improve decision-making, support disease surveillance, and facilitate faster, more coordinated responses to health events. By strengthening data management and connectivity, SILAB enhances information exchange and supports animal and public health surveillance.
