National Certification Exams for HIV Testing Sites and Testers Conducted Across Cameroon

From January 26 to February 13, 2026, the National Public Health Laboratory (NPHL) and Global Health Systems Solutions (GHSS) administered reassessment exams to 27 health facilities across Cameroon’s South West, West, East, Adamawa, North, and Far North regions.

As required by the national certification guide, this followed a 3-month monitoring period for sites and HIV rapid testers who were unsuccessful in the initial assessment. The exams assessed tester competence through written and practical evaluations, measuring adherence to quality assurance (QA) standards in HIV testing services.

Certification is a mark of compliance with quality practices in conducting HIV rapid testing.
