The Scientific Program Committee will put together a fantastic multidisciplinary program covering a broad range of important themes such as fundamental concepts, advanced diagnostics and techniques used in laboratory medicine. The program will feature plenary lectures, symposiums on cutting-edge topics, oral presentations, posters and high-level educational workshops. Distinguished international speakers and key opinion leaders will deliver presentations in health care, on recent diagnostic technologies, scientific advances, and challenges. The program will be designed to be interactive allowing sufficient time for discussions giving opportunity to the participants to learn, to understand, to contribute. and question the direction of Laboratory Medicine worldwide.
In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Sector will organize a great exhibition providing the attendees a great opportunity to explore the recent novel technological advances and practical solutions fitting to the needs of clinical laboratories. The IVD Sector will support the Congress organizing also high-level Educational Workshops on important topics with eminent speakers presenting the latest scientific advances in all disciplines pertinent to laboratory medicine.
I look forward to meeting all the IFCC members worldwide from six IFCC Regional Federations who will participate in this exciting IFCC WorldLab Congress to be held in the Region of the Arab Federation of Clinical Biology.
