“The treatment and prevention of the majority of significant illnesses,” he says, “can really be improved by confirmation in the laboratory of that diagnosis, monitoring the patient day after day and making sure the diagnosis has actually been made and there’s been clinical intervention as a result of that diagnosis.

The African Society for Laboratory Medicine was launched at a meeting in Addis Ababa in mid-March. Dr. Nkengasong, chairman of the Board of Directors at ASLM, says he expects work to begin around July.
