Diagnosis starts HERE. 🔬🧪
​Every year, we wear ribbons & share stories for health awareness. But there’s a silent, vital force behind every diagnosis: the Medical Laboratory Scientist (DoctorsofMedicallaboratoryscience).
​The lab is the engine of healthcare. 🧵👇

2: Global Health Security 🌍🛡️
​The 6-year #MLSD is the frontline against epidemics. Trained in WHO protocols for Ebola & COVID-19 etc, we are the "Disease Detectives" needed for pandemic defense. 🧬🔬
​An unposted MLSD is a hole in our national security! 🇬🇭

Training is for PREPAREDNESS! 🩺🚨
​WHO mandates that nations must have the capacity to detect threats. The #MLSD curriculum includes advanced molecular skills to stop viruses before they spread. 🦠✋
​Why train us to WHO standards then leave us home? Post us 📢

Meet the Master Architect of the 6-year #MLSD: WAHO (West African Health Organization). 🏗️🌍
​As the health agency of ECOWAS, WAHO is the bridge between Political Will & Professional Practice. Here is how they transformed Med Lab Science: 🧵👇

Stay strong. Your expertise is the key to transforming Ghana’s healthcare. 🇬🇭
​We call for urgent postings to ensure Every Patient counts.

Tonight is "Silent Night." But for us, it is "Starving Night." 🔇🌑

While you go home to fully stocked fridges and festive laughter, 1,000+ Doctors of Medical Lab Science are staring at empty tables. Our "Christmas Eve" is just another evening of wondering where our careers went to die.

You can still save this Christmas. Sign the Paper before you leave. ✍🏾

The 2003 Dakar Convention forms the legal bedrock of #MLSD. 📜⚖️
​By signing Protocol A/P3/1/03, ECOWAS mandated:
✅ Equal degree recognition across 15 states
✅ Harmonized health training (WAHO)
✅ Labor market tracking for pandemics
✅ Curbing brain drain

The 6-year Doctor of Med Lab Science (MLSD) origin story. Key pillars:
​1️⃣ ECOWAS: 2003 legal basis
2️⃣ IFBLS: 2010 Nairobi vision
3️⃣ WAHO: 2013 Harmonized Curriculum
4️⃣ Govt of Ghana: 1st to codify
5️⃣ WAPCMLS: Postgraduate Fellowship
6️⃣ WHO: Global Quality Benchmarks

It's high time a true priority is placed on the docs Ghana has spent on training them to serve the nation.

GHS 22.8 BILLION. 💰That is the allocated Health Budget. We saw the headlines. We saw the celebration.

So, Hon. Minister, please explain to the 1,000+ Unemployed Doctors of Medical Lab Science: If the Ministry is so rich, why are we still so poor?The excuse of "No Financial Clearance" is a lie when you are swimming in Billions.

Stop hoarding the cash. Employ the Staff. 🩸

Very sad! For govt that targets quality health care delivery this leaves a lot of questions unanswered

#PostMLSDsNow

[Wuninche @seidulukman]

Oooh! @JDMahama @KMAkandoh @mohgovgh kindly do much than give assurances to these young men. Starvation as a reward of their hardwork. This begs a lot of questions which require ans; why was the taxpayers money used to train them? Are their services not needed?

Overburdened staff whiles 1000s are left unemployed is absurd on all counts.
This says a lot in our healthcare.
For a govt that's advocates quality healthcare delivery for all, I think they can/should do better

Another day to remind the minister of the qualified MEDICAL LAB PROFESSIONALS who are still in the house after 6 years of training.

Six Years of Unemployment Among Doctor of Medical Laboratory Science Graduates Threatens Patient Safety and Healthcare Quality in Ghana https://t.co/0z1IEWAvur

[TheLabDoc @K_Reeves98]

It is Saturday. The Labs will be overwhelmed!

The few staff on duty are drowning in samples! Errors will happen, Delays will happen. Meanwhile, 1,000+ fresh, energetic MLS.Ds are sitting at home, wishing they could help.
