By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

Bwari General Hospital Laboratory has retained its International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 15189:2022 certification, making it the first and only Accredited Government owned hospital in the country.

ISO certification is a seal of approval from a third party body that a company runs to one of the international standards developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization.

In a statement by Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, to the FCT minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike on Tuesday, said the ISO certification was a reflection of the Federal Capital Territory Administration’s, FCTA, commitment to improve healthcare delivery and the healthcare reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

He stated that retaining the ISO Certification was a demonstration the Bwari General Hospital Laboratory overtime has
adhered to international medical laboratory practices, adding that “maintaining this accreditation required continuous improvements to meet evolving global standards, which the Wike-led FCTA is committed to.”

“To achieve re-certification, the hospital laboratory had to upgrade its procedures, train staff, and invest in modern equipment. Most importantly, implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS) is to ensure reliable and high-quality diagnostic services.”

L Mandate Secretary for Health Services and Environment, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe, disclosed that the Bwari General Hospital Laboratory initially received ISO 15189:2012 accreditation in 2019 for a four-year period (2019–2023).

Dr. Fasawe described the accomplishment as a significant milestone for Nigeria’s healthcare system and a testament to the commitment of the FCT Minister to improved healthcare delivery as well as dedication of the laboratory staff. Adding that this success would inspire other government hospitals to strive for similar excellence.”

Fasawe affirmed that Bwari General Hospital Laboratory’s achievement demonstrated that Nigerian healthcare institutions were capable of meeting global standards.
