Welcome to another tantalizing but sobering edition of your news menu as concerning the medical laboratory science profession in Nigeria.
Three shocking events continue to jostle for our headline this week. The sad bomb incidence at Jos which took the lives of 7 budding embryonic MLS, the demise of PA to AMLSN former President, Prof. Useh, Dr. Godwin Iwat shot in
cold blood in his office at UniCal and the rascality displayed by the CMAC of LTH, Osogbo who threw caution and decorum to the
winds to physically assault MLS on legitimate duties.
Any way, in the memory of the dead, weekly has settled for
'Doctor Harrasses, Assault Medical Laboratory Scientists In Lautech Ogbomoso'!
Yet, more news worthy events occurred which must be highlighted.
The EEP continue to dominate discussion as it's purported eventual
release caused confussion in the forum. However, the
intervention from the PRO's office and the clarification by
the poster-Soji Bilyrose put records straight as all hands
continue to be on deck in hopeful mood to receive the
circular still in the making.
The visit of the President, Dr. G.C. Okara to UCH, Ido-Ekiti,
UITH and LTH, Ogbomoso to unite, strengthen and motive MLS
in the battle field graced the news front too just
as the NMA arrogantly continues to threaten the F.G. concerning
JOHESU's demands.
Reacting to NMA incursion into her regulatroy functions,
the MLSCN has further assured the public of her readiness to
continue in sanitizing the chaotic invitro-diagnostics market and
import......Let's take a sip and move to Top Stories...
