Speaking further, Oyediran said that one of the goals of the organisation was to ensure that laboratories are well equipped to meet up with the international standard of healthcaree delivery.

He also expressed his displeasure over the failure of many chemicals and products produced in Nigeria to meet international standard.

“Many chemicals and products produced in Nigeria in the last three years have been rejected by international organizations because they did not meet up with the international standard.”

He urged the federal government to ensure that infrastructures are put in place to support laboratories in the country.

“To prevent ‘health tourism’, the federal government must ensure our that our laboratories are well equipped and handled by competent personnel to meet international standard.

“This is the only way we can become a healthy nation. It will be easier to tackle our health challenges if we know our health status.

“Therefore, it is also very important to cater for what we are consuming, so as to improve our lifespan. As analysts, we have global guidelines which we are following. Following the guidelines will enable us to analyze anything that is brought into the country from any part of the world.

He added: “favourably with our counterparts in other parts of the world, we need to do things the way it should be done. Personnel must be properly trained, and our laboratories must be adequately equipped.”
