ANCLS is for the improvement of clinical laboratory tests, eliminating inter-laboratory disparities and health service improvement. Since its inauguration in 1999, ANCLS has contributed in establishment of National External Quality Assurance (EQA) Program in Asian countries and is managing Asian Quality Assurance Survey program (AQuAS) that 134 clinical laboratories from 14 Asian countries are participating.
With the theme “Advancing Laboratory Diagnostics - Asian Network meets Africa”, ANCLS 2019 Seoul aims to bring together experts from Asia and Africa to discuss about the quality assurance, biological reference standards, global strategy for emerging infectious diseases and more.
We very much hope that you are interested to participate and take part in the discussion about the recent issues on technologies, potential growth of laboratory diagnostics and challenges faced on managing the infectious diseases.
