MLSCN
Nigeria 🇳🇬FoundationsPROFESSIONALMedical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria — licensing in laboratory governance, the diagnostic disciplines and reporting.
📏 MLSCN registration follows an accredited programme, the mandatory internship, and the Council's licensing examination; the Council also registers laboratory scientists, technicians and assistants in separate categories and licenses the laboratories themselves. Format, dates and fees are set for each sitting — confirm them with the Council before applying.
