Hello Anisha,

No, a BSc MLT (Medical Laboratory Technology) graduate typically cannot become a District Health Officer (DHO) . The position of DHO usually requires a degree in MBBS with a specialization in Public Health or Community Medicine (like an MD in Community Medicine or a Diploma in Public Health ). Candidates also need relevant experience in the healthcare sector and often need to clear state or central public service exams.

However, as a BSc MLT graduate, you can explore roles in medical laboratory management , public health research , diagnostic centers , and hospital administration .
