The impact of patient consumerism in clinical laboratories

Abstract

Dear Editor, Our aim is highlighting patient consumerism and its implications for clinical laboratories. The increasing awareness among patients about their health and the widespread availability of medical information have led to a shift in their expectations from healthcare providers, including laboratory services. Patient consumerism in laboratory medicine is an area that warrants further discussion and research. We would appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this dialogue through your esteemed journal.
