The bastion of the diagnostic company, Medlab, seems to have encountered an invincible intruder in the form of an Australian Company, which has been the recipient of a $560 million eight-year laboratory testing contract , accorded by the district health boards in Auckland, scheduled to commence from June 2007.
Pathologists from the Australasia Royal College of Pathologists find themselves in a tight spot after this decision. They are scheduled to have a meeting with the Health Minister, Pete Hodgson to discuss the implications of such a move on their careers.Medlab on its part is moving heaven and earth to retain its past glory.
