The University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan, has upgraded its Universal Laboratory to improve service delivery and efficiency, benefiting both patients and the general public.
UCH’s Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmi Adetuyibi in a statement on Friday disclosed that the laboratory now operates with a 24-hour uninterrupted power supply.
Adetuyibi explained that the stable power supply reflects the hospital’s commitment to its core principle – “patients’ comfort and staff welfare.” This ensures a more efficient healthcare experience.
This upgrade is part of UCH’s broader efforts to enhance medical services, improve diagnostic accuracy, and provide world-class healthcare to all its patients.
Established in 2012, the Universal Laboratory integrates haematology, chemical pathology, and molecular biology units under one roof. This ensures a faster turnaround time of one hour or less.
The laboratory offers services including complete blood counts, coagulation profiles, general chemistry, hormonal assays, immunoassay and infectious disease testing.
It operates round the clock, serving emergency departments and external clients.
“This recent upgrade supports UCH’s goal of providing prompt and effective diagnostic services.
“The hospital remains dedicated to delivering precise and reliable results in a conducive environment,” Adetuyibi said.
