Programme Overview
Medical Laboratory Science is the applied science dealing with the application of science, technology, engineering or mathematics to the effective delivery of healthcare. Healthcare scientists are scientists directly involved in the research diagnosis, treatment, care and support of patients in healthcare systems.
Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) is a key component of healthcare science. It is the application of biology-based science to medical use, be it research, health monitoring or treatment. As 21st century medicine and healthcare become increasingly sophisticated, the demand grows for highly skilled medical laboratory scientists capable of performing and analyzing a battery of technical procedures to screen, treat, maintain and improve human health. The medical laboratory scientist has a critical role to play in supporting the delivery of essential health care all over the world through good laboratory services.
