Happy to share that last week I presented to all Medical laboratory managers from all districts and central hospitals across Malawi. The medical laboratory leadership is critical to the shared vision of the Malawi Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists(MAMLS). As a society we are geared towards a collaborative and transformative vision where we aim to change the narrative of provision of medical laboratory services across all tiers of the health system.
My presentation focused on the innovative composition of the MAMLS which include the secretariat, Consortium, Advisory Board.
This year as a society we have gone through structural changes to effectively serve mediators laboratory professionals better. The consortium will focus on research and innovation, resource mobilization and capacity building and development. This approach will enable financial solutions within the society and innovative professional development for all. We are equally focused on communication and public awareness through our communication and public relations officers within the secretariat to strengthen the link between stewards in the society, laboratory professionals and the general public.
Furthermore, this year as a society we aim to continue advocacy towards the implementation of medical laboratory internship, Formation of the laboratory directorate through the structural transformation of the HTSS directorate to equally benefit sister allied professionals. This collaboration will enhance career progression for all professionals and advance effective implementation of the HSSP III. In addition we will continue working with all regulatory bodies to ensure sanity within the professionals.
