ProQuest : a medical laboratory in Namibia


My partner and I as co-founders are both Biomedical Scientists by profession with a combined 14 years experience in the industry. Since university, the dream was always to open a laboratory and after I managed the second biggest blood banking laboratory in the country, we decided that we were ready to take that step in 2015.

Medical Laboratory science in Namibia is quite one note and that becomes routine. I was always of the opinion that if we as young scientists wanted to change that, we had to be bold enough to be at the forefront of that change. We decided to do just that.
