The future of laboratory practice lies squarely in the availability of these policies.

The concerns raised by the laboratory group are legitimate. if these issues are addressed, it will lead to great improvement in healthcare delivery in Ghana

The medical laboratory profession is key in the diagnosis of various health challenges presented by patients visiting our various hospitals. Meaning they tell the doctor you have malaria, typhoid, HIV1or2, cholera, hepatitis B, C or A, syphilis, ebola, the least is endless. They even determine&makes available which blood type to be transfused to a mother with post psrtum haemorrhage. And all these important profession does not have any national policy? This is a joke. In case ebola had entered Ghana, how could they have helped to contain it. But all we heard was that doctors were ready to contain the virus to which they (Doctors) were asking for insurance cover before attending to someone with the virus forgetting that it would take the biomedical scientist to tell the doctor he is dealing with ebola. #policyonlaboratorypracticenow

This is a very goog course i believe all should follow to help push it. Because,the doctors want to have control over everything. I wonder if a doctor can head a pharmacy,if not then why are they trying to do so with the lab. Besides,medicine and laboratory science are two unique n different things. They should practice their medicine and allow us to practice our laboratory science.

I think the college of physicians and surgeons should train doctors in nursing, pharmacy, radiology and all the other disciplines, so that they can head everywhere since they think they are the only people with brains.

it sometimes surprises me when I see Ghanaian doctors showing much greed. They want to head every department in the hospital. why? I won't be surprised if they request to be heads of security unit.

This is getting out of hands. How come the pharmacist head their own unit but the doctors want to rule us? We are not going to allow that. I bet you they don't even understand what goes on in the lab. With their anatomy and physiology background they think they know what goes on in the lab? Mother Ghana sit up

I think this group of the health profession is making sense. And the earlier government pays heed to their call ,the better for Ghanaians.
The policy should be endorsed to make their practise safe.
About, GCPS, the least said the better cos if they head labs as they are attempting to do ,strikes will take over all the labs.
in as much I learnt the conditions of services of the Lab professional is nowhere near that of the doctor, they barely go on strikes. Government should advise themselves

I said this in the house and my little sister at the shs asked, are these doctors too many in the country and are they done with their work that they now want to enter the lab?

They saw lab and they chose medicine what is their problem again?

why won't people like "Mr Twum Peter" go to China to do some funny medicine to come and add to their existing mess?

we will help them save lives, we will never leave the lab for them to kill many people.

Who quality controls lab reagents. No policy on who should sell lab reagents. These are reagents that determines our health status.
