Lanka Hospitals PLC, the internationally accredited healthcare provider in the forefront of the medical industry, partnered with the Sri Lanka College of Haematologists (SLCH) to conduct a continuing medical education (CME) session on Flow Cytometry (FCM) in haematological diagnosis recently, at the Lanka Hospitals auditorium.
This activity brought together both the visiting resource person, Vancouver General Hospital, Canada Clinical Professor of Haematology Professor Bakul Dalal and the local consultant haematologists. They presented cases and made useful presentations on the topic. The training needs and the possibilities of locating training centres in Canada for technicians and doctors were also discussed.
Professor Dalal visited the haematology laboratory at Lanka Hospitals Diagnostics (LHD) and met the laboratory technical staff for a discussion on technical aspects of FCM. Lanka Hospitals Corporation (LHC) along with LHD look forward to many such events with joint public-private partnership, which in turn will nurture and support development of healthcare in various different aspects. The enhancement of healthcare from such partnerships described above will only be visible in years to come.
The event was sponsored by Beckman Coulter and SLCH.
