Kenny Mhangwana

I’m a results-oriented professional with long-term experience in data entry and office administration within a national laboratory environment. I take pride in accuracy and attention to detail, because “one wrong digit” can affect the validity of a patient result.

My work includes laboratory administration—specimen reception and registration, check labels and barcodes, log into LIS/TrakCare, and capture patient demographics and test requests. I also handle results by printing, sorting, and dispatching results to wards/clinics, while tracking outstanding results and maintaining patient records according to rules and procedures.

With the pressure of a lab running “24/7,” I stay calm, prioritize STAT/urgent samples, and meet turnaround time targets. I rely on critical thinking and problem-solving to manage rejected samples, missing forms, and system errors, while working effectively with teams and using tools like Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook), and communication platforms (Microsoft Teams, Zoom), all while protecting sensitive HIV/TB/cancer information.
