Icsh activities and Asia.
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.
