Kenya

Message

At The Karen Hospital, I process specimens, dispatch results and carry out quality control on specific tests. I also prepare and review SOPs, laboratory manuals and quality specifications.

My work includes blood grouping and storage of blood and blood products, as well as patient data entry and inventory management. I refer samples to peer and superior reference laboratories when further analysis is needed.

Alongside my laboratory work, I advised hospitals and clinics at Eco Medical Supplies on laboratory design, equipment and workflow, and coordinated supplier communication and customer follow-up. I’m KMLTTB-registered, HIPAA-certified and trained in ISO 15189:2022 implementation; I’m pursuing an HND in Blood Transfusion Science.
