According to him, the Bwari General Hospital was the first public hospital in the country that had been able to meet up with laboratory standardisation.

The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the hospital, Dr. Osayande E. Osagie, said it had not been an easy journey for the hospital to ensure that the laboratory was able to meet up with the required standard as it made contacts with hospitals in Lagos State.

He commended the staff of the laboratory, FCT health secretary, as well as medical the Health Science Council of Nigeria (HSCN) for their support in ensuring that the hospital’s laboratory met up with the required standard.
