Medical Laboratory Science is concerned with the analysis of clinical specimen (urine, blood, stool, peritoneal fluid, synovial fluid e.t.c) with the aim of identifying thecause/s of disease conditions.  It is pivotal to the effective management of diseases as reports shows that over 60 percent of decision relating to hospital admissions, prescribed medicals and discharge of patients depends on laboratory data. Medical laboratory science as a discipline is thus a fulcrum for practice of modern day medicine. One trained to perform the function above is regarded as a Medical Laboratory Scientist or a Clinical Laboratory Scientist.
