The hands-on training was offered to technicians on operating Biochemistry Analysers and Haematology Analysers by service engineers of Trans Asia.
The training was a great success as the participants highlighted its importance especially after a long gap of more than ten years. They also expressed a strong desire for more frequent trainings with an extended duration. The training strengthened the theoretical knowledge in laboratory services and provided the laboratory technicians with the essential skills to operate Haematology and Biochemistry Semi-Auto analysers. This enhancement in laboratory services, coupled with the availability of these diagnostic tools, will help the state of Sikkim in reducing the out-of-pocket expenses for diagnostics.
