In summary, Egyptian chemists and microbiologists can open clinical laboratories in their respective specialties if they have a postgraduate diploma in biochemistry or microbiology after their Bachelor's degree. Physicians can also open clinical labs if they have a Master's degree in clinical pathology after their Bachelor of Medicine, even if they do not have a background in biochemistry, chemistry, or microbiology. The Egyptian Ministry of Health is currently considering limiting the opening of clinical labs to only physicians. More information on this topic is necessary.
