MLSCN registrar, Dr Tosan Erhabor, who spoke during the signing of the MoU in Abuja, said the partnership can save the country the $2blllon reportedly spent annually by citizens in search of qualitative diagnosis while emphasising the agency’s commitment to the country’s health laboratory system.

He expressed confidence that the collaboration would lead to a culture of accurate and reliable medical laboratory test results for the benefit of citizens.

  “The coming together of MLSCN and Bloom Public Health, promises to change the narrative of poor health indices in our country, discourage health tourism and potentially save the country the $2blllon reportedly spent annually by the citizens in search qualitative diagnosis,” Erhabor said.

While envisioning the transformation of both private and public laboratories nationwide, the registrar stated that the immediate focus is on upscaling the capacity of laboratories at the primary healthcare level.
