EL-Lab, a leading Medical
diagnostic centre in Lagos earns renewed Accreditation from the Nigeria
National Accreditation System (NiNAS), affirming its
continued technical competence in medical laboratory testing.
A medical diagnostic
centre with branches
across Lagos, EL-Lab is the First Indigenous medical laboratory in Nigeria to attain
the ISO 15189 status in Nigeria ten years ago. Till date, Nigeria may have less
than 50 medical laboratories in both public and private categories to meet this
standard.
EL-LAB has maintained this accreditation status
for ten (10) years and currently holds this qualification from two (2)
accreditation bodies in Nigeria, namely Medical Laboratory Council of Nigeria
(MLSCN) and Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS)
This achievement of reaccreditation and transition to ISO 15189:2022 for
Medical testing, following a rigorous reassessment by Nigeria National
Accreditation System (NiNAS) confirms that EL-Lab continues to meet the
requirements of ISO 15189:2022,
the internationally recognised standard governing quality and competence in
medical laboratories. It sets out requirements covering everything from sample
handling and testing procedures to staff competence and quality management,
giving patients, clinicians, and partner institutions confidence in the
accuracy and reliability of results.
For a medical diagnostic
laboratory, reaccreditation is no small feat. It requires laboratories to
demonstrate, through an independent and thorough assessment, that its systems,
processes, and personnel consistently deliver results in line with
international best practice. NiNAS, as Nigeria's national accreditation body,
conducts these assessments to ensure that accredited laboratories maintain the
standards necessary for both local and global recognition.
By retaining this
accreditation, EL Lab
reinforces its position as a trusted provider of medical testing services
within Lagos and the broader Nigerian healthcare system.
Speaking on this, the Managing Director of
EL-Lab, Dr Elochukwu Adibo mni said; “This achievement
reflects the laboratory's commitment to quality assurance, staff training, and
process improvement, factors that lead to more reliable outcomes for patients and
referring clinicians”.
