Summary

They work diligently to perform a wide range of tests and samples, which are integral to the diagnostic process. These meticulous tasks are essential in helping physicians detect diseases, monitor treatment progress, and in guiding medical decisions to ensure the safety of our clients. 

 

We would also like to express our deepfelt appreciation to the Assistant Technologists (Tech B), who are the people behind the Covid, Influenza and RSV testing and were indispensable during the pandemic as well as during recent outbreaks.   

Please join us in showing our appreciation to the CBHSSJB’s medical laboratory teams in Mistissini and Chisasibi.
