Özet

Değerli Editör, Bu mektupta amacımız hasta tüketimine ve bunun klinik laboratuvarlardaki etkisine dikkat çekmektir. Hastalarda sağlıklarına yönelik artan bilinç ve medikal bilgiye ulaşımın yaygınlaşması, hastaların sağlık hizmetinden beklentilerinde bir değişime yol açmıştır. Buna laboratuvar hizmetleri de dahildir. Tıbbi laboratuvarda hasta tüketiciliği daha fazla tartışma ve araştırmayı gerektiren bir alandır. Saygın derginiz aracılığıyla bu diyaloğa katkıda bulunma fırsatından memnun oluruz.
