Degree-level medical laboratory professionals must register and obtain a licence from the Kenya Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Board (KMLTTB), under the Medical Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Act, Cap 253A. This is the higher qualification tier compared to the diploma-level technician licence, and carries a correspondingly higher fee.
