PATHOLOGY

The anatomic pathology department at KCMC has provided patient services, research and education since 1971. We receive surgical specimens from over 50 hospitals in Tanzania, performing about 35% of the examinations done in Tanzania. Cytology specimens come mostly from KCMC and fine needle aspiration samples obtained by our pathologists. Post-mortem examinations are limited to KCMC clinical cases and medical-legal cases. A staff of 11 currently provide specimen processing, diagnosis, filing of slides and blocks in archives, production and distribution of reports, education and morgue activities.

Statistics from recent years are:
