    The major role of a medical laboratory is to assist in


    the diagnosis and treatment of diseases by
    performing qualitative, quantitative or screening test
    procedures or examinations on materials derived

    The laboratory plays a vital role in the overall
    comprehensive health care system by:

    1. Confirming provisional diagnosis of the clinician


    2. Ruling out a diagnosis
    3. Detecting disease
    4. Regulating therapy
    In recent times, the increased demand on the
    laboratory has led to the introduction of more
    specialized and sophisticated procedures including
    automation and computerization. The medical
    laboratory science practitioner of today must, of
    necessity, be theoretically sound and practically
    effective in his selective discipline.
    Ethics and Responsibilities of Medical
    Lab Technologists:

    1. Place the well-being and service for the sick above your own
    interests.
    2. Be loyal to your medical laboratory profession by maintaining
    high standards of work and strive to improve your professional
    knowledge.
    3. Work scientifically and with complete honesty.
    4. Do not misuse your professional skills or knowledge for
    personal gain.
    5. Never take anything from your place of work that does not
    belong to you.
    6. Do not disclose to a patient or any unauthorized person the
    result to your investiga­tions.
    7. Treat with utmost confidentiality and personal information
    that you may learn about a patient.

    8. Respect and work in harmony with the other members of


    your hospital staff or health center team.

    disease.
    11. Follow safety procedures and know how to apply first aid.

    SAFETY MEASURES IN MEDICAL LABS:

    A principle or regulation governing actions,


    procedures or devices intended to lower the
    occurrence or risk of injury, loss and danger to
    persons, property or the environment.
    Safety means being free from harm, and free
    from the risk of future harm as well. There are
    several different precautions that we can take to stay
    safe.
    The most important lab safety rule is to know the
    location of and how to use safety equipment,
    such as a fire extinguisher.
