1. The medical technology sector helps ease the pressure on healthcare professionals by

reducing demand and improve health to contribute in sustainable healthcare. Through
innovative devices and diagnostics, the industry delivers accurate results to patients.

2. Laboratory quality control is used to detect and reduce deficiencies in laboratories that
releases patients results and improve the quality of the result. Its importance is to give relevant
and reliable timely test results that is interpreted correctly. The purpose of quality assurance is
to confirm that the work of these learners has been quality assured to the appropriate standard.
There are many different processes that go into this. Without quality assurance, there would be
nothing guaranteeing the validity of our qualifications.
