- Case Studies: Real-world examples highlighting the challenges and consequences of inaccurate malaria diagnosis.
- Best Practices for Sample Collection and Transportation: Ensuring optimal specimen quality for reliable laboratory testing.
- Laboratory Diagnosis and Quality Assurance: The importance of accurate microscopic examination and robust quality control measures.
Moderator:
- Mr. Rogers Kalyetsi: A renowned lecturer and researcher in parasitology and entomology from the Department of Medical Laboratory Science.
Other Presentations:
- Case Presentation: Mr. Omara Shadrack
