# 6. Supported Laboratory Disciplines
The Malawi LIMS documentation identifies the following laboratory disciplines and services as supported:
1. **Clinical Chemistry**
2. **Hematology**
3. **Microbiology**
4. **Blood Bank**
5. **Molecular Diagnostics**
6. **HIV Viral Load**
7. **Early Infant Diagnosis (EID)**
8. **Tuberculosis (TB)**
9. **Malaria**
10. **COVID-19**

The breadth of supported disciplines demonstrates that the LIMS is intended to serve as a **national laboratory information ecosystem**, rather than a system dedicated to a single disease programme or laboratory service
