This work is specially put together not to replace medical doctors or medical laboratory scientists but rather to assist them in accelerating in their diagnostic work which will go a long way to eliminate the trial and error method of treatment  (which the doctors usually do while waiting for the lab result which would be detrimental to the patient.
    In view of this, a careful study and understanding of this research will assist users, medial doctors & lab scientists.  It will educate them on now best a computer can aid medical diagnosis for optimum service to the public.
    The project will go further to educate out lab scientists / doctors on the need to accumulated salient aspects of the medical know-how of even the most experienced specialist in the computer.  So as to eliminate the vacuum that would have been created when specialist dies or is in capacitated.
