MUSCAT: The College of Medicine and Health Sciences at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), represented by the Department of Allied Health Sciences organised the International Biomedical Laboratory Science (BLS) Day at Muscat City Centre under the auspices of Dr Abdullah bin Mohammed al Futaisi, Adviser at SQU. International Federation of Biomedical Laboratory Science established BLS Day in 1996 at the World Congress in Oslo, Norway. This day is celebrated annually on April 15, in recognition of the key role played by biomedical laboratory personnel in diagnostic and preventive health care systems.


The aim of this day is to educate the public about the hard work of these specialists in finding the causes of diseases, altogether with the medical team. The event included an exhibition consisting of two sections: the first section is about the biomedical sciences programme in the Allied Health Sciences at the SQU and the Institute of Health Sciences. The other section of the exhibition represented biomedical specialties, namely: Histopathology, Microbiology and Immunology, Genetics and Biochemistry. Staff from College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Institute of Health Sciences, SQU Hospital and Khoula Hospital took part in this event.
