The discipline that governs the regulation of medical laboratory practice in the Philippines is what?

The regulation of medical laboratory practice in the Philippines is governed by the Medical Technology Act, which establishes licensure, scope of practice, and professional standards for medical technologists and clinical laboratories. This act creates the Board of Medical Technology under the Professional Regulation Commission to oversee registration and regulate practice, ensuring laboratories meet quality and safety standards and that practitioners are properly qualified. The other options pertain to different fields or broad, non-specific legislation, so they do not provide the regulatory framework specifically for medical laboratory practice.
