This is good

#Nigeria just received the first batch of #COVID19Vaccines from #COVAX facility.

#YesToCOVID19Vaccine

[Society for Scientists in Infectious Diseases @SSIDng]

Most pandemics in the past were conquered by the administration of safe and efficacious vaccines. It is good news that Nigeria is receiving her first batch of Covid 19 vaccines today

What on earth could be chasing members of @nmanigeria from clinics and wards to pharmacies and labs? The answer is not far fatched to. It is AVARICE. The @NGRSenate should not be fooled by the antics of @official_IYO and his gang @MedicalworldNig @NigeriaNuahp @AMLSNNational

[Society for Scientists in Infectious Diseases @SSIDng]

Pathologists say they spend 12yrs to qualify as consultants and so should head the labs. They don't know that Med Lab Scientists with PhD, MSc, FMLSCN, BMLS spends 15yrs in school. This alone knocks them off their haughty perch @AMLSNNational @nmanigeria @NGRSenate @YmlsfNigeria

[AMLSN @AMLSNNational]

Non-PhD professors in the mould of @nma are like the non-nucleated cells that are driven by the pride of ribosomes into the path of destructive microbes.

The MDP Act amendment is not to strengthen the health system in Nigeria but to further weaken it through entrenchment of quackery (doctors trying to do the job of others) and deepening inter-peofessional conflict. @NGRSenate @HouseNGR @nmanigeria @AMLSNNational

[Society for Scientists in Infectious Diseases @SSIDng]

They studied medicine and not headship. We studied medical lab science, pharmacy, nursing etc and not servitude. The @nmanigeria has arrogated to themselves powers they lack. They must be checked by @NGRSenate @HouseNGR @OfficialNUC @AMLSNNational @MedicalworldNig

[Society for Scientists in Infectious Diseases @SSIDng]

The health sector is multidisciplinary. Reason health experts globally have a non-medical doctor as DG of @WHO . Nigerian doctors head hospitals, NCDC, NPHCDA, @Fmohnigeria, etc yet we are among the last 10 nations with weak health system. @nmanigeria @AMLSNNational

[Society for Scientists in Infectious Diseases @SSIDng]

The @NGRSenate should know that @official_IYO barred @MedLabNigeria but allowed @MDCNofficial to make presentation at the public hearing on Feb 1st. This is unacceptable and undemocratic especially as @MDCNofficial is out to usurp the powers of @MedLabNigeria

[AMLSN @AMLSNNational]

If you want to move from being a diploma holder to a PhD holder, you seek admission into a school not to gate-crash on national assembly to give you what NUC is empowered to give. No to academic quackery!

@MedicalworldNig

[Society for Scientists in Infectious Diseases @SSIDng]

In clear terms, MDCN Act empowers pathologists @nmanigeria to demonstrate PRACTICALS for students in the field of pathology. While the MLSCN Act empowers medical laboratory scientists @AMLSNNational to regulate the PRACTICE of med lab science in Nigeria

Are you interested in working as a Medical Laboratory Scientist/Technologist in Canada 🇨🇦?

Do you want to know what the certification process entails?

Thank you to everyone who attended our seminar series lecture yesterday and today. You will agree that they were very informative and educative.
Thanks to @Daniel_Udenze and @MujeebShittuO for those brilliant presentations
We will be back on 29th August for another one

Our incorporation with the Corporate Affairs Commission is done and dusted. Our existence is today backed by law and our legitimacy is affirmed. Congratulations to the interim leaders and members of the Society for Scientists in Infectious Diseases @YmlsfNigeria @ChollomChollom

[Society for Scientists in Infectious Diseases @SSIDng]

Join us for this event on the 4th of July at 5pm WAT

[Society for Scientists in Infectious Diseases @SSIDng]

There is need for everyone to come together to fight this monster. Medical Laboratory Scientists with expertise in infectious diseases should be co-opted for management, contact tracing and diagnosis.

HIGH PROFILE DEATHS SINCE 1999

Stella Obasanjo
Umaru Musa Yar'adua
Abba Kyari

These people died in power as a result of different health circumstances. Yet, Nigeria healthcare system is still in an abysmal state.

Congrats to Tolulope Oduselu (@tj_oduselu), one of our 30 under 30! An undergraduate student of Biomedical Laboratory Science at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. He wants to lead researchers opening up frontiers of research in Africa specifically into phage therapy.

[Society for Scientists in Infectious Diseases @SSIDng]

This the way to flatten the curve. Kudos
