Historic Background

The hospital started training laboratory microscopists in 1970’s and in 1994, started training laboratory attendants who would be given a certificate. In 2011 KARUDEC started a training school to train a certificate and a diploma in medical laboratory technology which are courses recognised by ministry of public service of the republic of Uganda. The school started a total number of 13 students, with 2 diploma and 9 certificate students.
