The University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, has upgraded its Universal Laboratory to enhance service delivery and efficiency, benefiting both patients and the general public.
In a statement on Friday, UCH’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mrs. Funmi Adetuyibi, announced that the laboratory now operates with an uninterrupted 24-hour power supply.
She emphasized that this development aligns with the hospital’s core values of “patients’ comfort and staff welfare,” ensuring a more seamless healthcare experience.
According to Adetuyibi, the upgrade is part of UCH’s broader initiative to enhance medical services, improve diagnostic accuracy, and provide world-class healthcare.
Established in 2012, the Universal Laboratory integrates haematology, chemical pathology, and molecular biology units under one facility, enabling a rapid turnaround time of one hour or less.
The laboratory offers a range of services, including complete blood counts, coagulation profiles, general chemistry, hormonal assays, immunoassays, and infectious disease testing. It operates 24/7, catering to emergency departments and external clients.
“This recent upgrade reinforces UCH’s commitment to delivering prompt and efficient diagnostic services,” Adetuyibi stated.
She reiterated that the hospital remains dedicated to providing accurate and reliable results in a conducive environment.
