The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has recorded a major boost in healthcare quality as three district hospital laboratories in Wuse, Asokoro and Maitama received the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria ISO 15189:2022 accreditation certificates in Abuja.
Representing the Mandate Secretary of the Health Services and Environment Secretariat, Dr. Ahmadu Abubakar described the recognition as proof of the administration’s commitment to improved healthcare delivery under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Bola Tinubu.
He noted that the certification guarantees accurate diagnosis and improved patient safety, adding that other hospitals will be encouraged to meet the same standard.
According to him, the achievement is “a great feat for the FCT” and a motivation to raise the quality bar further.
Acting Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the council, Dr. Donald Ofili, said the FCT had expanded from a single accredited facility in 2015 to three hospitals today, commending the health authorities for sustained quality improvement.
The administration reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining the standards and extending reliable, globally competitive laboratory services to residents.
