This result places MDH labs as a centre of excellence for clinical toxicology testing. The Toxicology Lab Team consists of medical lab scientists, scientific officers and consultant chemical pathologist.

The current scientific and medical leads are Carmel Sammut and Dr Michelle Muscat, who performed quantitation and clinical interpretation.

Toxicology laboratories are part of the Pathology Department headed by Chris Barbara. Toxicology lab services in Malta were founded by Michael Sammut with excellent track records in toxicology testing.
