Medical Technology in the hands of Trained Technicians
The need and opportunity of providing advanced medical technology to Pakistan were one of the prime motivations for its founders. But with each day, it seems that a new invention is patented; and whatever the invention, technology has certainly enhanced the medical technologist’s role as a leader in the laboratory workplace. Unlike in the past, the present and the future do not rely on time-consuming and cost-ineffective manual protocols. Automated laboratory machines can perform diagnostic testing faster and in greater volumes, than can a technician. However, these machines do not run by themselves; it takes an experienced and well-trained medical technologist to troubleshoot and to ensure that the results reported are accurate and reliable.
Shifa takes private in being a leading institute to host some of Pakistan’s most qualified medical technologists, certified nurses, and internationally trained physicians. Today Shifa is also capable of producing these necessary human resources via its medical education institutes
