Dominican Bioanalysts Association Calls for More Lab Staff Before Expanding Clinical Hours

The Dominican College of Bioanalysts (CODOBIO) has expressed concern about plans to expand healthcare services without first strengthening clinical laboratory capacity. The organization emphasizes that adequate staffing and resources in clinical laboratories are essential for providing timely diagnoses and quality patient care. CODOBIO argues that extending laboratory hours without hiring additional bioanalysts could compromise the quality of diagnostic services across the healthcare system. The group is calling on the National Health Service (SNS) to prioritize recruitment and hiring of bioanalysts as a prerequisite for any expansion of laboratory operations.
