Sooo... what this really is?
Sooo... what this really is?
The COVID-19 pandemic has enlightened society about the critical role of the healthcare system in keeping us safe & alive. More people are aware of healthcare scientific terms, like PCR, virus, and reagent.
Test kits and vaccines are sold publicly through minimarkets and e-commerce, meaning people are turning into autodidacts in understanding how lab tests & vaccines really work.
However, not everyone has understood completely the science & finance behind it. Hence, more people are forced to spend their money based on doctors' or lab's recommendations, without truly knowing what they pay for, what actually happens inside the lab, and what options do they have when choosing vendors or brands.
Creating digestible, comprehensive information about medical laboratories is a small fraction of collaborative effort to democratize the healthcare system for everyone. After all, healthcare terms are fuzzy, head-scratching, yet surprisingly dinamic.
This page is dedicated to everyone who wishes to contribute for making these kinds of information accessible, widespread, and triggering discourses about any relevant health matters: is vaccine truly safe, is PCR tests' price marked up, why importing COVID-19 test kits took so long.
After all, healthcare, like religion and your Facebook password, is a personal decision. Hence, making everyone's decision and consent as informed as possible should become our unanimous goal. Not only for our health, this may assist us in making our healthcare expenditure forecast and choosing the best test and vendor for it.
We wish, this website may provide comprehensive information about medical laboratory: Its classification, type of tests, market share, revenue stream & cost structure, until its recent innovation, cloud-based laboratory. All information is taken from public sources or private sources that have been granted permission.
Finally, please enjoy this website as our fountain of knowledge in understanding medical laboratory.
