The Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) has vowed to take decisive action against medical laboratory operators who fail to renew their membership, sparking a nationwide crackdown on non-compliant facilities.

Regulators have identified several laboratories operating without valid membership, posing a risk to public health and safety. The MLSCN has issued a stern warning, giving defaulters an ultimatum to regularize their status or face severe consequences, including closure and legal action.

This move aims to ensure that medical laboratories meet stringent standards, providing accurate and reliable diagnostic services to patients. The council is committed to enforcing compliance and protecting the public from substandard medical practices.
