Education and training should enable students to:

• Become trained and qualified Medical Laboratory Technologists capable of working proficiently in any branch of Medical Laboratory Technology.
• Improve and advance their knowledge to aid in acquiring specialized skills later.
• Gain a thorough understanding of public health subjects, as Medical Laboratory services are integral to the health team.
• Assist doctors in their duties, thereby reducing the workload on medical practitioners during patient treatment.
• Develop skills in laboratory technology for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating patients, as well as providing laboratory tutors for paramedical training institutions.
