Laboratory Services

Clinical Laboratory testing plays a crucial role in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease. Lab personnel examine and analyze body fluids and cells, look for bacteria, parasites and other microorganisms, analyze the chemical content of fluids and match blood for transfusions. With increasing automation and the use of computer technology, the work of technologists and technicians has become less hands-on and more analytical. The complexity of tests performed, the level of judgment needed and the amount of responsibility workers assume depend largely on the level of education and experiences they have.
