On the impacts the event would have on the health sector of the region, he said it would provide
an unparalleled platform in West Africa to deliver multiple scientific
programmes.
"As finding the latest research and

facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience in these fields of
medicine," he said.
He enjoined attendees to be at the MEDLAB
conference due to the evolution of laboratory science as an important component of the healthcare system.
"We
particularly recommend the MEDLAB conference at Medic West Africa. Laboratory
science continues to develop as one of the most important components of the
health care system, as with timely and accurate diagnosis many of the
historically deadly diseases within the Sub Saharan region can be treated," he told HealthNewsNG.com
He added: "Additionally, medical laboratory technology and techniques are developing at an
incredible pace – and so it is vitally important to keep on top of the latest
developments in this exciting field."
