EL-Lab, a leading Medical diagnostic centre in Lagos, earns renewed accreditation from the Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS), affirming its continued technical competence in medical laboratory testing.
A medical diagnostic centre with branches across Lagos, EL-Lab is the first indigenous medical laboratory in Nigeria to attain the ISO 15189 status in 10 years ago. Till date, Nigeria may have less than 50 medical laboratories in both public and private categories to meet this standard.
EL-Lab has maintained this accreditation status for 10 years and currently holds this qualification from two accreditation bodies in Nigeria, namely Medical Laboratory Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) and Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS)
This achievement of reaccreditation and transition to ISO 15189:2022 for medical testing, following a rigorous reassessment by Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS) confirms that EL-Lab continues to meet the requirements of ISO 15189:2022, the internationally recognised standard governing quality and competence in medical laboratories. It sets out requirements covering everything from sample handling and testing procedures to staff competence and quality management, giving patients, clinicians, and partner institutions confidence in the accuracy and reliability of results.
