Stakeholders in the laboratory profession have called on the Nigerian government as well as State Governors to put more funds into laboratory research works to stem the capital flight crisis the country is facing due to foreign medical trips by Nigerians.

The call was made on Tuesday at the celebration of the 2024 World Laboratory Day by Independent Laboratory Owners (SoTLAN), from the Southwestern Nigeria, which held at Lagos.

The gathering which was aimed at calling attention to the need for people to undergo laboratory testing, included stakeholders in the laboratory profession among whom were industrialists, laboratory workers and owners as well as students.

Part of the advocacy effort include a live Television interview programme named ‘Kutuhai’ on the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS), where the immediate past President of Society of Testing Laboratory Analysts of Nigeria, Dr. Femi Oyediran discussed the essence of the day in relation to public health.

In his address at the event with the theme “The Future Is Lab,” which held at LCCI Conference Center in Lagos, the Chairman of the occasion, Mr. Ademilola Adebayo, congratulated the practitioners on the annual celebration, saying the future of public health depended on laboratory of now and years to come, as there was no limit to innovation, scientific and technological breakthroughs.
