Icsh activities and Asia.

ABSTRACT

The International Council for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH), an international organization promoting international agreement on hematological testing, is now restructuring to strengthen its activities. In Asia, a diversity of testing methods exists and the resulting testing levels make it difficult to compare test results internationally among Asian countries. Fortunately, the ICSH is considering regionalizing its organization to 5 sub-societies to increase its activity, and we have been able to establish a new society, ICSH-Asia, under the ICSH umbrella.
