The Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria is the National Regulatory Authority charged with the regulation of various ramifications of medical laboratory services including infrastructure, training, processes, product and practice. The thrust of Council in line with Mr. President's Transformation Agenda is to stem medical tourism for quality health care abroad with attendant capital flight by driving the culture of quality and efficient health laboratory care to the public as empirical date have confirmed that 60-70% of indices required for effective medical diagnosis, treatment, surveillance and forcasting are based on accurate and reproducible health laboratory results.
 
Over 50% of public health in-vitro diagnostics (test kits, equipment, reagents, chemicals etc) in the Nigeria open market are sub-standard, fake, expired or poorly stored and distributed (bane of quality test result!) as against less than 17% for fake or sub-standard drugs and food products. In conformance with its mandate to regulate the production, Imporatation, sales and stocking of in-vitro diafnostics in Nigeria, the Medical Laboratory Science Council o Nigeria recently completed its ultra-modern Public Health in-Vitro Diagnostics Control Laboratory in Lagos for validation, Verification, listing and registration of IVDs in Nigeria. This is the first of such a specialized laboratory in West Africa.
