🦟 WORLD MALARIA DAY | 25 April

Malaria is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease caused by the bite of infected mosquitoes. If not treated on time, it can lead to severe complications and even death. The common symptoms of malaria include high fever, chills, sweating, headache, body pain, nausea, vomiting and weakness. In some cases, patients may also experience anemia, jaundice and breathing difficulties.

However, malaria can be prevented with simple precautions. Avoid stagnant water around your home as mosquitoes breed there. Always use mosquito nets while sleeping and apply mosquito repellents. Wear full-sleeve clothes, especially during evening and night. Maintain cleanliness in your surroundings and seek early medical testing if fever occurs.

Early awareness and timely action can save lives. Let us work together to prevent malaria and build a healthier future.

**Workshop Successfully Completed**

A full-day workshop on - Complete Urinalysis: From Collection to Interpretation was successfully conducted today by the -Department of Medical Laboratory Technology, Swami Vivekananda University (SVU).

During the workshop, students were provided with hands-on training where they worked with **real urine samples** and performed different stages of urinalysis including **physical, chemical, and microscopic examinations**. This practical session helped students understand the entire process of urinalysis, starting from proper sample collection to accurate interpretation of laboratory findings.

Such hands-on training is extremely important for future **Medical Laboratory Technologists**, as it enhances their practical skills and strengthens their understanding of routine laboratory investigations. Through this workshop, students gained valuable experience in laboratory procedures, microscopic observation, and clinical interpretation, which will be highly beneficial for their future work in **diagnostic laboratories and hospitals**.

Workshops like this play a vital role in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real clinical laboratory practice.

Successfully completed a Hands-on Workshop on Total Leukocyte Count (TC) and Differential Leukocyte Count (DC) at Swami Vivekananda University, Barrackpore.

The workshop focused on the practical demonstration and clinical importance of TC & DC in hematology. Students actively participated and gained valuable hands-on experience in performing leukocyte count and identifying different types of white blood cells.

We sincerely thank Mr. Sarbeswar Sanpui, Senior Laboratory Technologist, for sharing his valuable knowledge and practical insights with the students.

We are deeply saddened by the untimely loss of our beloved student, Mijanur Rahaman. 💔
He will always be remembered for his presence, warmth, and spirit.

May his soul rest in peace. 🕊️
Heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.
