Medical laboratory professionals are dedicated health care professionals that provide accurate and timely laboratory test results to physicians and primary caregivers to help make critical medical decisions. They are often working behind closed doors, however their role in patient care is vital to the entire healthcare system. There are approximately 1.2 million laboratory tests performed by medical lab professionals every day in Canada. Laboratory tests provide a wealth of knowledge to physicians and help diagnose and treat the thousands of health issues that affect Canadians every day like cancer, auto-immune diseases, diabetes, and COVID-19. OPSEU local 101 celebrates it Medical Laboratory professionals this week!
