The swift advancement in  medicine all over the world, is a striking phenomenon witnessed by all through out the world.

This advancement gives an indication that nations unite in their vision when they come to speak about medicine. They have similar views on  medicine. These medical views are expressed  by several organizations of medical groups. These global medical organizations which work as one hand believe in one thing. That is to say: their work becomes futile unless everyone is keen, dedicated and loyal to his profession.

No doubt, each medical group could comprise the following professionals:

 Physicians

 Diagnostic medical laboratory specialist

 Physiotherapy specialist

 Diagnostic X-Ray specialist

 Clinical nutrition specialist

 Medical Records specialist

 Nurses

 Orderlies

 Administrators

But what is the main function of each medical group?  Paying  more attention to health care ,the health environment, the services given and all must be of quality so that these organizations could present very good medical teaching and advanced training in various medical specializations to the would be graduates who could do their jobs competently and successfully.

Now a days, diagnostic medical technology is becoming so important that hospitals could not do without it since it has became the base if we consider the fundamental medical groups. In other words, diagnostic medical technology assists all other medical groups. A physician, who treats patients, depends on diagnostic medical technology  as this technology gives an accurate and correct reading to diagnosis. It also detects the level of seriousness or danger of a particular disease after a careful follow up.

The  world  of medical technology  has advanced  so rapidly and it is continuously developing  side by side with the those  in science and technology, in addition to expertise on medical and disease diagnosis.

Medical technology has  achieved  tremendous  diverse unifying  been divided and sub-divided into units of different specializations so unique and accurate. Each specialization exists separately from another, each enriching  separately  from another . This, is, indeed  an achievement  in itself.

Again, I must recall the branches of diagnostic medical technology:

 Diagnostic medical technology

 Diagnostic X-Ray technology

 Clinical nutrition

 Physiotherapy technology

 Speech therapy technology

 Anesthetic technology

 Optics technology

 Medical records technology

 Nursing technology

 Etc.

Depending, totally, upon the aforesaid technologies, a dedicated physician diagnoses the patient, follows him up, determines the right disease prescribing  him the right medicine.

The aforesaid medical personnel are well educated, well trained and highly competent and able to communicate effectively with the doctor, each in his area.

These medical  staffs   have the capability to go ahead with the latest technologies of the age, especially in their specialized fields. They are able to train other individuals, how to manage their laboratories. The presence of such medical personnel is very important, because they are the cause behind  health conditions and  the people.

Good hospitals, equipped with similar technologies, in addition to expert doctors and trained technicians in modern technologies, all this gives the indication that a country is going  a head on the way to progress .

In this respect, our universities are keen to introduce similar technologies and open similar branches of studies so that we could go side by side with the advanced countries.

Indeed ,Our students are capable of dealing with the studies mentioned able to do post graduate studies in the field of medicine and other  areas . They are ready to sit for any examination in medicine from any international board of examination. By doing this, we could depend upon our national expertise, and by doing this, we could serve our beloved country.
