The Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN), Dr. Tosan Erhabor made this known at the AMLSN 14th Annual Public Health Lecture Series and national induction/investiture of West African Postgraduate College of Medical Laboratory Science (WAPCMLS), held recently in Lagos.
He said:
“On June 1, the MLSCN will roll out a policy on quality management system, which will be the minimum requirement for any laboratory to practise in Nigeria, both public and private. With this policy, it is either you get it or you don’t practise. Every laboratory must be accredited because this is the right way to go.
We want to have more facilities accredited so that there would be better result from diagnosis. It is beyond mounting equipment; we are also looking at putting it to use to see whether it is in line with manufacturer’s specifications.”
