Article • On a shoestring budget

Bridging the resource gap for pathology in developing countries

Delivering a pathology service in resource-constrained locations and developing countries remains a challenge. Cost is a significant barrier, as is the availability of equipment, trained staff and technical and IT support can also hinder a desire from clinicians and pathologists to give their patients a high level of service to help their diagnosis and recovery. The subject was tackled in a specific session at the 37th European Congress of Pathology in September with speakers addressing the challenges and looking at steps to overcome them.
