The Health Board is an Estonian state agency under the Ministry of Social Affairs, responsible for various public health functions, including the monitoring and control of infectious diseases and epidemic management.
Its laboratories play a critical role in safeguarding public health by conducting bacteriological, virological, chemical, and physical testing. These labs are also equipped to identify specific pathogens and diagnose rare diseases, ensuring readiness for potential public health threats. Additionally, the Health Board actively participates in European infectious disease surveillance networks and serves as the national reference laboratory for specific food analysis areas.
To ensure the reliability of testing results, the laboratories operate under a quality system aligned with ISO/EN 17025 standards and hold accreditation from the Estonian Accreditation Centre.
