The Partnership for Supply Chain Management (PFSCM) is excited to participate in the African Society for Laboratory Medicine’s (ASLM) sixth biennial conference this year. The gathering from 12 to 15 December in Cape Town provides an excellent platform to learn about the latest advancements in laboratory equipment and healthcare in Africa.
PFSCM will have a booth alongside our many reputable suppliers and service providers, and we warmly invite you to come and meet with us to learn more about how reliable procurement and delivery mechanisms help increase access to sustainable, quality laboratory equipment, consumables, and services.
