Sana'a - Saba:
The fifth Diagnostic Laboratory Medicine Conference, titled "Reality and Aspiration," will begin next Tuesday in Sana'a, organized by the Ministry of Public Health and Environment, represented by the National Center for Central Public Health Laboratories.
Abdulrahman Al-Wazir, head of the conference’s preparatory committee, told the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) that the conference aims to advance laboratory medicine academically and professionally, as well as enhance the overall quality of medical laboratories. Around 1,500 participants, including local and international specialists in laboratory medicine, technical experts, and medical companies and institutions, will attend.
Al-Wazir noted that over three days, the conference will discuss 31 working papers focusing on diagnostic laboratory services, blood transfusion services, comprehensive quality systems, and the relationship between physicians and laboratory technicians.
He emphasized that the conference will address future technical issues related to medical laboratories and high-quality patient testing. He pointed out that Yemen’s healthcare sector suffers from a severe shortage of qualified personnel and modern equipment due to the ongoing aggression and blockade.
Al-Wazir considered the conference’s fifth convening amid these challenges as evidence of the Supreme Political Council and the Ministry of Public Health and Environment’s commitment to exchanging expertise and keeping pace with advancements in laboratory medicine.
He highlighted the importance of diagnostic laboratory medicine as one of the largest professional healthcare groups, essential for diagnosis, treatment, and raising awareness about the role of laboratory specialists.
