The Message from the Congress Chairman
Dear colleagues, specialists, and professionals in the field of laboratory sciences
The unparalleled role of medical laboratories in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating diseases is undeniable. Today, in a world where evidence-based medicine and precise diagnostics form the foundation of any advanced healthcare system, laboratories are considered the beating heart of the healthcare frameworks. Insufficient attention to diagnostic infrastructure and to the challenges faced by professionals in this field can have irreversible consequences for public health. Delays in disease diagnosis, increased treatment costs, reduced quality of services, and even the migration of key experts are all outcomes of neglecting this vital sector. However, amidst these challenges, there are opportunities for growth, transformation, and the advancement of laboratory sciences—opportunities we must seize with hope, knowledge, and collective effort. The future is bright because the importance of laboratories is increasingly recognized.
The recent pandemic demonstrated that laboratory diagnostics are the first and most critical step in controlling and managing diseases. Advances in diagnostic technologies have opened new horizons. Artificial intelligence, smart laboratories, novel molecular methods, and automation technologies not only enhance the accuracy and speed of diagnostics but also make our work more efficient and impactful. Our unity and advocacy can lead to positive change.
Active participation in health policymaking, engagement in scientific associations, and constructive interaction with decision-making bodies can strengthen the position of laboratory sciences in the country’s healthcare system. We are not alone in this journey. With empathy, effort, and perseverance, we can turn challenges into opportunities and create a brighter future for the country’s laboratories. This congress is a step toward that goal—an opportunity for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and paving the way for progress. Let us believe in a better future and strive for it.
Dr. Shahrouz Hemmati
