ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, April 17, 2014/ -- The
importance of laboratory research and quality diagnostics cannot be
overstated, especially at a time when Africa is challenged by disease
outbreaks. Opportunities to publicise research findings among a global
audience are uniquely available to African scientists, researchers and
policymakers at the second international conference of the African
Society for Laboratory Medicine (ASLM), http://www.ASLM2014.org.
The
ASLM conference, ASLM2014, is a platform for the global laboratory
community to share best practices, acquire knowledge and debate
innovative approaches for tackling major health challenges. The
conference theme is “Innovation and Integration of Laboratory and
Clinical Systems: Reshaping the Future of HIV, Tuberculosis (TB),
Malaria, Influenza, Neglected Tropical Diseases and Emerging Pathogens
in Africa.”
Abstract submission remains open until 30 April 2014.
ASLM2014
will be held in Cape Town, South Africa, on 30 November - 4 December
2014, and it will serve to highlight ASLM’s pan-African efforts to
improve quality patient care and disease control through improved
laboratory systems and networks in Africa.
“Laboratories
play a strategic role in global health security,” said Dr. Tsehaynesh
Messele, ASLM Chief Executive Officer. “Sharing best practices allows
the African health community to capitalise on the historical movement to
improve laboratory efficiency, lower costs and develop sustainable
local capacity. Through events such as ASLM2014, we can expand our
knowledge and charter new territory to advocate for the critical role
and advancement of laboratory medicine in Africa.”
