UCH Ibadan upgrades laboratory with 24-hour power supply for better services
The University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, has upgraded its universal laboratory to improve service delivery and efficiency to benefit both patients and the public.
UCH’s Public Relations Officer, Funmi Adetuyibi, stated this in a statement on Friday. She stated that the laboratory now operates with a 24-hour uninterrupted power supply.
Mrs Adetuyibi explained that the stable power supply reflected the hospital’s commitment to its core principle – “patients’ comfort and staff welfare.” This ensures a more efficient healthcare experience.
According to her, this upgrade is part of UCH’s broader efforts to enhance medical services, improve diagnostic accuracy, and provide world-class healthcare to 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 such as complete blood counts, coagulation profiles, general chemistry, hormonal assays, immunoassays, 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,” Mrs Adetuyibi said.
