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 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.
