Nigerians can’t be going to India, US for simple diagnosis- Angry

National President, Association of Pathologists of Nigeria (ASSOPON), Dr Kenneth Iregbu, has
called on the
Federal Government to reposition clinical laboratories in the country for an efficient and reliable healthcare delivery, adding that quality healthcare won’t be possible without the active involvement of laboratory medicine.
Iregbu, making this call during the ASSOPON scientific conference 2012 in Abuja, said: “Nigerians cannot be going to India, America, for simple diagnosis that can be done here. We can’t keep flocking into foreign countries for things as simple as diagnosis because our confidence in the country’s laboratory system is weak.”
Meanwhile, the Honourable Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, said that government is making frantic efforts to ensure that the laboratories are properly positioned.
