Daniel Garwicz, Uppsala University Hospital

Uppsala, Sweden

Medical laboratory staff are often invisible to the public, patients and politicians although we make

vital contributions to the daily diagnosis of diseases. The best way for clinical chemistry and laboratory

medicine to become more visible is to strive for professional excellence. International and national

societies of clinical laboratory professionals, physicians and research scientists as well as the health

care providers have a tremendously important task in the years ahead to successfully promote and

reward existing competent personnel and recruit, train and retain new generations of talented young

men and women.

Moushumi Lodh, The Mission Hospital

Durgapur, India

I would place pregnant women at the top of the priority list, ensuring that they are educated about

their antenatal health check ups, the tests required in the course of their pregnancy, and the health

check up of their babies. This antenatal period is the time that the entire family listens and follows

most of our instructions. Once the mother is convinced about how necessary the clinical lab is for her

life and her family’s, most of the work of health care provider is done. In the long run, we are doing

our bit for the society by ensuring the clinical laboratory is indispensable in prevention and cure.

Jianhua Han, Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH)

Beijing, China

In my opinion, I think more conferences should be held between the clinical laboratory and physicians

that are based upon case reports. Modern clinical laboratory technologists should focus not only on

generating the results, but also should be ready to explain the clinical relevance of these results. With

the evolution of medical knowledge, the clinical laboratory represents a potential resource to help

physicians with diagnosis.
