The Supply Side of Laboratory Medicine​

The registration and licensing systems of devices and reagents for medical use including the clinical laboratory can vary among different countries. Sharing information on the manufacture, distribution, contract methods (purchase/lease), and market size of products (imported/domestic) used in laboratory medicine in each country can help us understand how the system works in different areas and also provide new ideas to better assess and potentially improve our own systems. In this session, we will explore the supply side of laboratory medicine from nine different countries in Asia to address the administrative challenges we face in each jurisdiction.

MFDS-KSLM Joint Session: Performance Evaluation and Value up for IVD

To foster the growth of the domestic in vitro diagnostic (IVD) industry and enhance the utilization of IVD tests, it is imperative to prioritize accurate performance evaluation and verification. These measures play a pivotal role in elevating the overall worth of IVD. To facilitate this mission, the External Affairs Committee has orchestrated a collaborative symposium. This symposium will bring together key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, IVD companies, and laboratory medicine experts. The primary agenda of this event is to engage in discussions pertaining to post-approval evaluation and the documentation of clinical performance assessments. These deliberations aim to further augment the value and reliability of IVD devices within the medical field.

KDCA-KSLM

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Korean Society for Laboratory Medicine (KSLM) and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) collaborated closely to successfully enhance their initial diagnostic testing capacity for COVID-19. They played a leading role in the prevention and control of COVID-19 until the development of vaccines and therapeutics. Building on this foundation, it is crucial to examine the continuous collaboration between the KSLM and KDCA for future responses to infectious diseases and chronic diseases.
