The American Mission Hospital marked World Laboratory Day by officially unveiling its Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the King Hamad American Mission Hospital.

Established as a separate department in 1984, AMH initially offered basic lab tests and has since grown to encompass five sites, providing a comprehensive range of laboratory services that support clinicians in diagnosis and enhance patient outcomes.

World Laboratory Day, observed annually on April 23rd, acknowledges the vital role of laboratories in healthcare, scientific research, and development.
