THE Ministry of Public Health on Tuesday launched the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) programme in central food laboratories to allow exchange of information on food analysis electronically.
This programme is implemented through an electronic system with the ability to manage information related to analysing food samples from the first stage of receiving samples until transferring them to the concerned departments with high accuracy and effectiveness.
The electronic programme also automates workflow tasks and specifies standard tools and methods to be followed, in addition to managing and controlling the movement of sample analysis and related information, as well as ensuring the attainment of more accurate and faster results and facilitating tracking of data sequentially over time and across experiments to improve efficiency.
The new programme is one of three interconnected programmes that have been in operation for about a year, namely the electronic food control system for local, imported and exported food.
The three programmes are linked to each other, as well as to other relevant electronic systems in the country such as the single window system to form an efficient food control system that guarantees the highest possible level of food safety by tracking it from the country of its origin until delivery to the consumer.
