The Medical Imaging Society of Nigeria and in the diaspora ( MISON ), wishes to congratulate ( our colleagues and fellow professionals in the practice of Medical/Health Services; the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria ( MLSCN ), all Medical Laboratory Scientists, her affiliates, proponents proper and patient-based international best practices of Medicine, the Joint Health Sector Union – JOHESU, and other related Medical/Health/Diagnostic/Imaging Practitioners ), over the National Industrial Court ( NIC ) judgement/ruling in Abuja on Friday, 17^th February, 2017.

The judgement/ruling ordered the autonomous establishment of the Department of Medical Laboratory Science Services in all Government Hospitals/Clinics when ruling on the case between Medical Laboratory Scientists and the Minister of Health and 13 others.

The judgement/ruling now paves the way for the Department of Medical Laboratory Services to be headed by Medical Laboratory Scientists and not by ANY OTHER MEDICAL/HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.

MISON, an umbrella body of Medical Imaging Scientists ( Radiography; X-Ray/Computerized Tomography/Mammography, Sonography, Echocardiography, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Electrocardiography, and Allied Professionals ), felicitate especially with the Ag. Registrar / CEO MLSCN,  Mr Tosan Erhaboh, Godswill Okara, Chairman West African Post Graduate College of MLS, and all those directly/indirectly involved in the achievement of this landmark judgement.

MISON hopes that this epic achievement will reverberate in all sectors/departments of Medical/Clinical practice that require autonomy, hence ensuring the practice of Medicine in Nigeria, in line with international best practices.
