In an attempt to join force with the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN), to combat quackery in Nigeria Health services and Medical Laboratory in particular, Association of Medical Laboratory Scientist of Nigeria (AMLSN), Kwara state chapter had uncovered a false result from a diagnostic center in the state.

The said laboratory result from ZROF Diagnostic Center, Malete, Kwara state, dated 5th July , 2024, surfaced online on the 18th September, 2024, and the Kwara state chapter of AMLSN, swings into action by visiting the diagnostic center.

The Discoveries and Resolutions were outlined in the Briefing below:

BRIEFING ON THE VISIT OF AMLSN KWARA STATE BRANCH TO ZROF DIAGNOSTICS CENTER, MALETE.
AMLSN Kwara State Branch led by the State Chairman visited the Center today Friday 20th September, 2024 based on the erroneous laboratory result emanated from the center. Our findings are as follow:
1. The Center is own by a non-Medical Laboratory Scientist but the owner has an MoU with a MLS.
2. ⁠The Center is duly registered with Kwara Ministry of Health based on MoU he has with the MLS but not yet with MLSCN. 
3. ⁠The Center employed a qualify licensed MLS (just finished Internship) 
4. ⁠The erroneous result in circulation emanated from the Medical Laboratory Scientist working in the laboratory. 
5. ⁠We observed that the said MLS isn’t competent and hence he needs more training. 

OUR RESOLUTIONS AND ACTION TAKEN 
1. Immediate termination of the Scientist’s appointment 
2. ⁠The Scientist is to report to the nearest Tertiary Health Institution in the State(University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital) for retraining for the next 6 months. 
3. ⁠His performance will be access after 6 months.
4. ⁠The Scientist overseeing the Center is to be engaged and sanctioned appropriately.
5. ⁠The Center in conjunction with the State AMLSN will source for an experienced and qualify MLS to replace him.
We appreciate all for your prompt actions.
