DownloadDesigned for limited-connectivity settings. All downloadable resources are packaged for offline use, supporting TB laboratories that may have intermittent or low-bandwidth internet access. Materials reflect the version 2.0 release of the GLI Quality Tool.
The GLI Quality Tool download page is designed with laboratory teams working in low-resource and limited-connectivity environments in mind. Every resource available here is packaged so that it can be saved once and used repeatedly without requiring an active internet connection. This is especially valuable for tuberculosis laboratories in settings where bandwidth is intermittent or unreliable, allowing staff to access the full suite of quality management materials whenever they need them, regardless of current network conditions.
All downloadable materials correspond to the version 2.0 release of the GLI Quality Tool, which represents a renewed and optimized iteration of the original stepwise implementation framework. The tool guides laboratories through a structured, phase-based journey covering essential elements of quality management, from organizational structure and personnel to facilities, equipment, purchasing, inventory, documentation, and records. Each phase builds on the previous one, helping laboratories create a realistic roadmap toward continuous improvement and, ultimately, accreditation readiness.
The resources on this page support the full spectrum of quality system activities, including internal assessments, management of nonconforming events, customer feedback, and continual improvement planning. Users will find checklists, guides, and instructional materials that explain how to implement each component of the quality management system in practical, day-to-day laboratory operations. The content is structured to be accessible to laboratory managers, quality officers, and frontline staff alike, ensuring that everyone involved in the improvement process understands their role and responsibilities.
These offline resources are part of a broader international effort to strengthen diagnostic networks and laboratory services. The tool has been developed through collaboration among global health partners focused on tuberculosis control and laboratory quality, with support from major development agencies. By making the complete package available for offline use, the initiative ensures that laboratories in even the most remote settings can pursue accreditation pathways and embed sustainable quality practices without being dependent on stable internet access or external technical support.
Download the materials most relevant to your laboratory's current phase. The checklists help you assess where you stand on each Quality Systems Essential, while the guidance documents provide context for planning your next steps.
