IQMH brings together experts in laboratory medicine to reinforce confidence in the healthcare system.

The IQMH Proficiency Testing Scientific Committees comprise physicians, technologists, and scientists who provide guidance on the design of Proficiency Testing surveys. Their contributions ensure the selection of clinically relevant challenges and the development and implementation of appropriate performance evaluation processes each year.

IQMH is deeply grateful for the ongoing commitment and support of the medical laboratory community and sincerely thanks the volunteers who generously contribute their time and expertise to our programs.

It is our privilege to recognize Wei Liu, MSc, MLT who has served IQMH as a volunteer since 2024.
