Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology (DLMP) at Hamad Medical Corporation, I am pleased to welcome you to the 1st Qatar Conference on Laboratory Medicine and Pathology. This pan-pathology conference gathers experts and healthcare professionals from all laboratory disciplines from within the State of Qatar, the region and around the world, all united by a shared commitment to advancing the field of laboratory medicine and pathology. The theme for our inaugural conference is Laboratory Medicine and Pathology Practice in the Coming Decade.

This conference underscores the critical role of laboratory medicine and pathology in improving patient outcomes and patient experience. Join us as we explore the latest laboratory advancements in precision medicine, artificial intelligence, point of care and rapid diagnostics, technological innovations, laboratory informatics and much more.

This event offers a unique opportunity for shared learning, collaboration and networking across all pathology specialties. We encourage your active participation in the discussions, workshops and presentations.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the organising committee, the scientific planning committee, sponsors and volunteers for their dedication in making this conference a reality.

I look forward to seeing you later this year for this very special educational event.
