The ideal candidate blends clinical precision with a patient-centric, compassionate carriage, and a proactive mindset toward hospital revenue growth.

  • Histopathology & Cytology: Process routine Pap Smears for cervical cancer screening, tissue biopsies, endometrial samples, fibroid tissues, and products of conception.

• Rigorous Blood Banking: Enforce stringent donor screening for transfusion-transmissible infections (HIV, HBV, HCV, Syphilis, Malaria). Maintain secure, continuous cold-chain blood storage between 2°C to 6°C.

• Quality Assurance & Logistics: Calibrate lab equipment regularly, maintain internal quality controls (QC), participate in external quality assessment schemes, manage reagent inventory and vendor relationships to secure cost-effective procurement, and process NHIS lab documentation.

2. Business Development & Patient Services

• Diagnostic Upselling: Educate walk-in and inpatients on customized "Wellness Checkup" bundles and pre-op/antenatal diagnostic packages (e.g., matching a routine malaria test with a blood sugar/cholesterol screen).

• Strategic Growth: Actively market laboratory packages to referring external clinics, recommend high-margin menu expansions (e.g., hormonal profiles, tumor markers), and generate at least 10 new patient referrals monthly.

• Community Engagement: Coordinate and participate in at least two monthly health screening outreach programs at corporate offices, churches, and community hubs to drive brand trust and patient acquisition.

• Turnaround Time (TAT) Honor: Guarantee rapid, error-free TAT (under 2 hours for routine tests), delivering immediate verbal communication of critical/panic values to attending clinicians.

3. Professional Excellence & Christian Values

• Christ-Centered Care: Provide deeply compassionate, empathetic diagnostic care, ensuring patient comfort, dignity, privacy, and clear pre-procedure explanations.

• Deportment: Maintain an impeccable professional appearance, courteous demeanor, and strict ethical compliance, perfectly mirroring the hospital’s core spiritual values.

• Skill Matrix: Advanced technical mastery of automated hematology, chemistry, and immunoassay analyzers, alongside proficiency in traditional manual microscopy.

• Software Fluency: Familiarity with modern Hospital Management Information Systems (HMIS) or Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).
