SUMMARY

In Egypt, the law stipulates that only licensed chemists, biochemists, and microbiologists can open clinical laboratories, provided they have completed a postgraduate diploma in their respective fields. Physicians are also permitted to operate clinical labs if they hold a master's degree in clinical pathology, despite lacking prior knowledge in biochemistry or microbiology. Recent developments indicate that the Egyptian Ministry of Health is considering restricting laboratory operations solely to physicians, which raises concerns about the implications for chemists and microbiologists. This discussion highlights the regulatory landscape surrounding clinical lab licensing in Egypt and invites comparisons with international practices.

im Egyptian chemist and microbiologist and i want to ask

who is the person that have license to open clinical laboratory and make the experiments in clinical lab

in egypt the law give license to chemists or biochemists if they take post graduated diploma of biochemistry after bsc to open clinical lab for chemistry only

aslo the law give license to microbiologists if they take post graduated diploma of microbiology after bsc to open clinical lab for microbiology only

aslo the law give license to physicians if they take master degree of clinical pathology after bachelor of medicine( although the physician don't know any thing about biochemistry or chemistry or microbiology before taking master of clinical pathology)

at the last Egyptian Ministry of Health want to prevent the chemists and microbiologists to open clinical lab in their Specialties and to allow to physician only to open a clinical lab

and i want to ask about the situation in all countries in these topic
