As a regulator of thousands of practitioners, we have an important role to play in making this a reality.

Our core role is to regulate. First, we promote high education and professional standards for medical laboratory professionals in Zimbabwe.

We believe in giving professionals the chance to address concerns, but We'll always take action when needed.

To regulate well, we support our professions and the public.

We use our voice to speak up for a healthy and inclusive working environment for our professions
