Nairobi Scientific Day 2026 brings the point of care community together
On 15 September 2026, the Kenya Association of Clinical Pathologists brought pathologists, laboratory scientists, clinicians and industry partners together at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Upper Hill, Nairobi, for Nairobi Scientific Day 2026.
The day ran under the theme Shaping the Future of Patient-Centered Care, with a scientific meeting on POCT Excellence in Action: From Quality Systems to Clinical Impact. Speakers looked at where point of care testing fits in Kenyan practice, how it should be governed, and what quality assurance it needs once testing moves outside the main laboratory.
