Registrar assures stakeholders of enhanced service delivery
Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) has announced the commencement of online registration of medical laboratories in Nigeria, urging stakeholders to avail themselves of the opportunity offered by the new framework to enhance service delivery.

The Registrar/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MLSCN, Dr. Tosan Erhabor, at a meeting with stakeholders and the agency’s consultants on automation led by Prof. Anthony Akpan of the University of Calabar (UNILAG), in Abuja, said he would scale up efficiency, transparency, speed of service delivery, as well as data collation and management.

A statement by the Head, Public Relations Unit, Mrs. Fidelia Ginikanwa, noted that the meeting was to enable stakeholders witness firsthand and possibly critique the ongoing digitalisation of the medical laboratory registration process, which he described as the latest in the series of MLSCN processes to be moved from the manual to the digital platform.

“Despite its meagre resources, MLSCN has successfully transformed other processes including Licensure, Examination, Indexing, Accreditation Service, and External Quality Assurance (EQA) among others, and now the e-registration of medical laboratories.”

While urging medical laboratory proprietors to continue working with the council to enhance service delivery, he expressed optimism that proprietors would henceforth be able to register their laboratories seamlessly and from their preferred locations without visiting the council’s headquarters in Abuja.

“I am pleased to note that automation has raised our profile among stakeholders, and we must commend the consultants for a job well done,” he said.

Responding, the lead consultant commended the council for scaling up the hitherto manual processes to the digital environment to enhance service delivery, despite the prevailing economic challenges.

“My team and I are proud to be associated with MLSCN and we encourage other agencies to emulate you in this respect,” he said, expressing confidence that the stakeholders would also be proud of the council’s efforts.
