A medical laboratory is a facility where scientific tests, analyses, and procedures are carried out on various body fluids, tissues, and other specimens to diagnose, treat and prevent diseases. Medical laboratories can be found in hospitals, clinics, research institutions, and universities. Medical laboratory technologists, who are highly trained and skilled professionals, are responsible for performing laboratory tests and analyzing the results. The tests that can be performed in a medical laboratory include blood tests, urine tests, microbiology tests, pathology tests, and molecular testing. The laboratory plays a critical role in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients, and the results obtained from laboratory tests can help doctors to make informed decisions about the care and treatment of their patients.
