The prevailing state of healthcare in Nigeria is a cause for concern, exemplified by recent distressing incidents. A victim, injured in an accident in Ibadan, Oyo state, faced appalling challenges within the healthcare system, underscoring the need for substantial improvements. The victim, with broken legs, was rushed to a private hospital where, shockingly, the staff were engaged in morning devotion while the patient languished in pain.
This distressing scenario highlights the lackadaisical approach of certain hospital managements, which has tragically resulted in the loss of innocent lives due to delayed or inadequate care. Such instances underscore the urgent requirement for medical practitioners to elevate their skills and capabilities, particularly in the realm of Point of Care Testing (POCT) Certification.
Efforts are being made by institutions like the Global Masters Institute (GMI), in collaboration with the Skill Development Council Canada, to offer comprehensive training and certification programs for healthcare professionals. The POCT Certification Programme equips medical practitioners—ranging from pharmacists to laboratory scientists, microbiologists, and Community Health Practitioners—with advanced skills to enhance healthcare delivery.
The utilization of portable and mobile diagnostic kits empowers practitioners to conduct immediate and efficient testing anywhere and anytime, providing instant results for timely intervention. This capability is crucial, especially in scenarios where immediate attention can significantly impact patient outcomes.
The dire need for improved healthcare services in Nigeria necessitates immediate action, and initiatives like the POCT Certification Programme offer a ray of hope in enhancing the nation’s healthcare landscape.
The enrollment for the Point of Care Testing Certification Programme at GMI is currently open.This initiative aims to upgrade the skills and expertise of healthcare professionals, enabling them to revolutionise and take charge of the country’s healthcare system.
