Dear Humberto

Thank you very much for your kind email ! It's great to know that
you're happy with GNU Health and the LIMS functionality :)

Let me answer inline :

We can definitely work on this feature and add it to the upcoming
version.

Would you please elaborate a bit more the rationale behind this

Our friend Armand has extensive experience implementing GNU Health

Thank you again for your feedback and welcome to GNU Health !

All the best
Luis
