Sample Question

Question Explanation
The emerging medical technology, especially in diagnostics and therapeutics has significantly enhanced patient care and the manner in which healthcare is provided in general. Moreover application of medical technology has played a critical role not only in enhancing health outcomes but also in reducing healthcare costs. Some of the medical technologies have facilitated early diagnosis and treatment of potentially chronic and fatal illnesses such as cervical cancer.
