I deliver reliable diagnostic laboratory results and lead efficient clinical laboratory operations.
What I'm looking for
I've supported diagnostic services at Echo-Scan Service Limited, Motherwell Diagnostic, Life Shield Laboratory and Scan Centre, and the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital. I handle patient specimens, perform laboratory testing, maintain accurate records, and follow standard operating procedures and safety protocols.
At the 63 Brigade Nigeria Army Medical Centre, I pioneered the establishment of a running laboratory, headed the laboratory department, led medical screening for new recruits, and participated in medical outreaches.
I've worked with automated and semi-automated laboratory machines to examine blood, urine, and faecal samples, producing reliable results quickly for emergency cases and patient care.
