Basic QC in Chinese!

Posted by Sten Westgard, MS

At the 12th annual conference for laboratory medicine in Nanjing, China, Westgard QC was proud to announce a new translation of the standard QC textbook, Basic QC Practices, into Chinese:

We were supported in this effort by QuaLab, who arranged for the translation, and by Dr. Rengfeng Feng, who verified the translation. Dr. Feng has been a "surrogate Westgard" in China for decades, advocating for better quality in laboratories using Westgard tools and techniques back when it was difficult for us to travel there. Even now, as we visit more often, we certainly can't be everywhere, and we are glad to know that thousands of laboratory professionals will have access to this valuable resource.
