About Maged
I am a Medical Laboratory Professional with a strong focus on quality, turnaround time, and patient-oriented service. I started my journey in Egypt, working across busy hospital and private laboratories in Banha and Greater Cairo, and later continued my career in Canada within accredited medical lab environments.
Over more than 20 years, I have handled core lab disciplines, contributed to workflow optimization, supported physicians during critical clinical decisions, and helped maintain safe, compliant, and efficient laboratory operations. My work combines hands-on bench experience, quality and safety leadership, and a strong interest in using technology and AI to improve lab performance.
