With the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continuing to spread at a fast pace, Sysmex is pleased to share that a global COVID-19 webinar has been released on the Sysmex Academy Online (SAO) platform.

We are directing this webinar at medical staff who put every possible effort into saving patients’ lives and maintaining or regaining control of the infections. With the first-hand experience shared by experts in this webinar consisting of several independent sessions we hope to contribute to fighting the virus and its disease more effectively.

Currently, there are five webinar recordings from local experts and key opinion leaders from China, Japan and Italy – including testimonies from lab and hospital staff around the world. Soon the existing set of sessions will be complemented with three more recordings from India, New Zealand and the US, so revisiting this webinar should well be worthwhile.
