Lab Tests Online soon available in Romania
EDMA, the European Diagnostic Manufacturers Association is proud to announce that Lab Tests Online, the non-commercial multilingual information portal on laboratory testing, will soon be available in Romanian.
The contract for the launch of the Romanian website has been recently concluded by EDMA together with the Romanian Association of Medical Products Suppliers (AFPM) and the Romanian Society of Laboratory Medicine (AMR).
Initially developed by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) in the US, Lab Tests Online is a global project with websites in U.K., Australia and China as well. EDMA coordinates the project of localising Lab Tests Online in continental Europe where the peer-reviewed, patient-centred, and non-commercial website is already available in English <http://www.labtestsonline.org.uk/> , Czech <http://www.labtestsonline.cz/> , French <http://www.labtestsonline.fr/> , German <http://www.labtestsonline.de/> , Greek <http://www.labtestsonline.gr/> , Hungarian <http://www.labtestsonline.hu/> , Italian <http://www.labtestsonline.it/> , Spanish <http://www.labtestsonline.es/> , and Polish <http://www.labtestsonline.hu/> . To get a better understanding of the project, please visit the website: www.LabTestsOnline.info <http://www.labtestsonline.info/> , where you can access all the national sites.
Lab Tests Online meets both a public need, and the highest quality standards on health information. Both values also appreciated by the European Commission, which has approved the inclusion of the European Lab Tests Online websites on the EU-Health <http://ec.europa.eu/health-eu/index_en.htm> Portal.
Lab Tests Online offers clear and easy to understand information to citizens and physicians about the diverse and advantageous contributions of laboratory medicine to health protection and care. Therefore users can
inform themselves about the tests they have been prescribed, the conditions usually related to the assays and how the success of the treatment is evaluated.
