Please find a list of accepted candidates for the Academic Year 2026/27. The message from the Registrar serves as a guide for all listed candidates of what steps to follow thereafter. Congratulations.

Come one, come all. Let us gather in his presence.

The university later held an award ceremony to recognize individuals who contributed to the buildup of the event. The occasion will be commemorated again in 2027, with SANU anticipated to serve as the host.

Here are some snippets of the powerful keynote address by the guest speaker, Mr Gcina Dlamini during the MLS week commemoration ceremony that was held at EMCU.

"Today we stand in the digital age of diagnostics. Artificial Intelligence, big data and interconnected laboratory information systems are reshaping how we detect, monitor and respond to disease. What once took weeks can now be done in hours, sometimes minutes. The laboratory has become not just a place of science but the beating heart of global health security."

"Our laboratories have stood in the Frontline of HIV and TB response, ensuring that science translates into lives saved."

"We have embraced biosafety and biosecurity, positioning Eswatini as a regional leader in capacity building and harmonization."

"Yes challenges remain, workforce shortages, procurement delays, donor dependency, but Eswatini has shown resilience. Each obstacle has become an opportunity to innovate, to strengthen systems and to lead regionally."

Laboratories of tomorrow will be profoundly different. They will be smart, powered by automation, robotics and AI. Dat will flow seamlessly from rural clinics to national dashboards, guiding real time decision-making."

The future is not technological, it is human. It is about building systems that are resilient, equitable and sustainable for the benefit of the patient population.

To Govenment: Invest in labs as the backbone of health security.

To partners: Support infrastructure, innovation and workforce development.

To Scientists: Embrace new technologies while safeguarding biosafety and biosecurity.

To all stakeholders: Recognize labs as the Frontline of public health and national development, not hidden backrooms of science.

EMCU Registrar Mr Sebenta Menon thanked the society of Medical practitioners present, the students, Health Ministry officers, SANU students, lecturers and private labs present.

He stated that the University is proud to be one of the Universities that provide this programme in the country. He further recognized the hard work by the HoD Ms Therese Mulyangote and the Dean in the Faculty of Health Science Mr Patrick Msibi.
The Registrar acknowledged Msibi's contribution in building the Deparment since inception.

Member of the Association of MLS and EMCU student Colani Mazibuko speaking of behalf of all students. He thanked all stakeholders that contribute towards their educational journey.

Today EMCU proudly hosted the Medical Laboratory Science day commemoration ceremony. This day is commemorated annually. It attracted Med Lab students from SANU, Eswatini Society for MLS, Ministry of Health officials, Blood bank officials to name a few.

A Medical Laboratory Science Day commemoration is usually designed to showcase the field and inspire students considering careers in laboratory medicine.

The event was more interractive as companies dispalyed and educated the students about some of the gadgets used. That made the event more interactive, practical, and career-focused.

Companies set up booths displaying diagnostic equipment, reagents, and technologies (like automated analyzers or molecular testing tools). Representatives explained how these tools are used in real diagnostics, everything from blood tests to detecting diseases like HIV or Tuberculosis.

Students watched simple lab procedures like microscopy, blood typing, or sample processing. This helps them understand core concepts such as Hematology, Microbiology, and Clinical services.

Such an event presents networking opportunities for students as they can speak directly with professionals and recruiters, ask questions, and even learn about internships, scholarships, or mentorship programs.

The event often emphasizes the role of lab science in healthcare highlighting how accurate lab results support doctors in diagnosing and managing diseases.

EMCU is grateful to be this year's host for the ceremony.

The event was concluded with an award ceremony for teams that competed as part of the team building exercise. Also awarded were management members The Finance, The Registrar and the HR office.

In closing the Registrar appreciated every member for participating in the exercise. He acknowledged the submission by one staff member to have such sessions more often to instill the proper culture as learnt during the exercise.
