WELCOME TO SALDA

The Southern African Laboratory Diagnostics Association is a body that represents laboratory medicine in Southern Africa and is a unified voice around IVD’s and a collaboration of multinational and local companies who distribute,supply and manufacture In Vitro Diagnostic tests. IVDs contribute to more than 70% of all medical diagnosis and can be used to decrease overall healthcare costs. We believe that broader access to innovative diagnostic tools will drive and support the healthcare paradigm. Our association aims to lead and highlight the relevance and impact of IVD, influence patient lives and wellbeing, improve access, and  propel the market within Southern Africa. We actively engage with necessary stakeholders, public, private, advocacy, patient groups about the value industry brings to patients.
