Projects Portfolio

Over the past 17+ years, MML has implemented and supported high-impact health, laboratory, and research initiatives across Africa in partnership with leading global institutions. Our work spans digital health systems, diagnostic network strengthening, laboratory quality systems, genomic surveillance, clinical research support, and capacity development.

We have delivered projects for national governments, universities, multilateral agencies, and global health actors—including WHO, Africa CDC, NIH, EDCTP, USAID, KOFIH, and major academic institutions. These engagements have strengthened diagnostic capacity, improved access to quality laboratory services, and enhanced health outcomes across multiple countries.

Our portfolio reflects our ability to work in complex environments, deliver technical outcomes at scale, and manage projects involving laboratory networks, remote sample tracking systems, clinical trial laboratories, and CAP-level accreditation support. The experience gained through these initiatives has positioned MML as a trusted implementing partner for research institutions, donors, and national public health programs.
