Biomedical Laboratory Technology is a programe providing expertise in laboratoty based techniques. Members of this profession are responsible for the provision of valid and reliable laboratory based information on which crucial decisions affecting the public are based e.g. monitoring,diagnoses,therapy,food quality and policy issues

Presently, the labaratory technicians have been training up to diploma status with no advanced certificate available in the country to help them develope professionally. 

In addition, the diploma training has been deficient in practical aspects leading to graduates being unable to cope with the rapid advances in scientific technology, industrial research and evaluatins. This has affected their marketablilty and efficiency.Thus, the inception of this programme gives significant priority to the upgrading of the Laboratory technologists in the Nation
