BS MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY(MLT)

With the current advancement in the field of science and technology, MLT has also evolved greatly. Initially, there used to be 6 months training to become a certified laboratory technician. Then, in 1961 for the first time a School of Medical Technology was established in Pakistan by the government in order to meet with the increasing demand of well educated, well trained and competent Laboratory personnel.
