BS Medical Laboratory Sciences
Introduction Road Map
Medical Laboratory Sciences is the core Department of School of Health Sciences as it plays major role in maintaining the health of community by diagnosing and detecting the health problems. It enables the practitioners in their interventions, disease prevention, Public Health strategies and even in advocacy and policy making by public and private sectors.
We have state of the art facility to provide teaching and practical exposure to our students under one roof by our highly qualified faculty from Pakistan’s & international renowned and prestigious Institutes. MLS program offers a considerable amount of time on practice-based learning opportunities, which help develop Hands-on Practice, Problem Solving, Intellectual evaluation on troubleshooting and employability as a healthcare professional. Our graduates also get opportunities to pursue higher education such as M. Phil and PhD, in various disciplines of Pathology/Medical Laboratory Sciences in Pakistan as well as in abroad like USA, Australia, United Kingdom (UK), Canada etc.
Most of the World’s economies face a dilemma when it comes to delivering efficient and effective healthcare services especially in developing countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal etc. Here in Pakistan, we are facing even more pressing issues, not only due to the nature of health financing, but also due to inadequate supply of qualified human resource.
