The MEDLAB Exhibition welcomes more than 600 exhibitors and 25,000 attendees, giving the opportunity for leading laboratories and manufacturers to showcase their products and services, and initiate business opportunities in the vigorously growing healthcare market in the Middle East. Accompanying the exhibition, is a 17 CME-accredited Congress, discussing the importance of clinical laboratory testing in the delivery of quality healthcare, the new advancements in technology, and focusing on bridging the gap between clinicians and laboratory professionals towards a more patient-centric care.<\/p>\n<p>At the Congress, leading medical practitioners discuss the increasingly important role clinical laboratory professionals play in today\u2019s healthcare system, from early detection and diagnosis to customised treatment plans based on the patient\u2019s unique genetic structure. Laboratory testing is key to improving patient care and the quality of services provided.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Nader Lessan, Consultant Endocrinologist at the Imperial College London Diabetes Centre and Chair of Endocrinology conference at MEDLAB 2018, stated: &#8220;Most and perhaps all medical specialties rely on biochemical and other laboratory disciplines in reaching correct diagnoses. This is even more crucial in Endocrinology where correct course of action directly depends on biochemical and\u00a0hormonal results.\u00a0 Conditions such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and of course, diabetes are common examples.\u00a0 Less common examples include acromegaly, Cushing Syndrome and phaochromocytoma; a close relationship between the laboratory and the clinician is pivotal to patient management\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1763 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MEDLAB-Event.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MEDLAB-Event.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MEDLAB-Event-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MEDLAB-Event-768x410.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MEDLAB-Event-1024x546.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0MEDLAB \u2013 The largest attended expo worldwide will be taking place between 5th and 8th February 2018.
