I have a question, if Korle Bu doctors are now insinuating that results from their lab are not credible because of the personnel there, then how have they been diagnosing patients all these years? Which lab results have they been relying on all this while? Should we be worried about that comment? Big case o.

Y’all want to be called doctors so bad cos there’s no part of the world we have MLSD for undergraduate.

It is well established, welders don’t supervise carpenters!

The pharmacists adding their voices to this lab strike convo are hypocrites
What is happening to the Laboratory Physicians (a qualified doctor who has specialized) is literally what happened to Pharmacists when Pharm D was introduced and we moved to being on the ward a bit more.

Medical laboratory scientist training in Ghana is the most advanced in AFRICA. They md should be advised and back - off from laboratory services and their managerial roles before its too late.
As it stands, we have
MLSD -CONSULTANTS
MLSD- SPECIALISTS
MLSD-GENERALISTS

@king_pearxe @Hafaz_the_1st I get your point
Like you can take potassium estimate from history before moving into the operating room, history and close examination will also reveal HPV too especially when you look closely to the cervix..

Without Lab results, you're no different from a road side mechanic doing trials and errors based off "signs and symptoms"

In Nigeria, patients trust lab results more than clinical judgment. If lab results disappeared today, many people would think doctors are finished. Meanwhile, that is where real medicine will actually begin.

@godfrey_amoah @dr_bandak In Ghana a physician would rather have a patient die than consult a laboratory Scientist

This is what is done in the UK.
After I run my test, I validate it and, depending on my shift, I may also authorise the results.
I then transmit my results to the department or the clinician. For specialised tests, I transmit them to the consultant (haematologist, etc.), who carries out the clinical discussion with other practitioners. This can be described as clinical validation.
We have Advanced Biomedical Science Leads: Laboratory Managers, Consultant Biomedical Scientists, Biomedical Science Operations Managers, Biomedical Science Leads, Clinical Scientists, Specialist Biomedical Scientists, and Biomedical Scientists. These professionals are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (similar to AHPC).
Clinical Scientists are not medical doctors. They are separate professionals trained under the NHS Specialist Training Programme. Most have Biomedical Science backgrounds and undergo a 3-year MSc plus NHS training. As a Biomedical Scientist, this is a pathway you can choose.
There are also Clinical Leads, consultants, and registrars who come to the laboratory for clearly defined roles. Their involvement is required in life-threatening or critical cases, or in reviewing slides first identified by Biomedical Scientists, such as:
TMA (TTP, HUS, HELLP), new acute leukaemia (ALL/AML), ITP, high-grade lymphomas or new lymphoma, and overt haemolysis.
In these cases, Biomedical Scientists must first detect the abnormalities, add biomedical comments, immediately contact the Clinical Consultant or Registrar, and work together to finalise the case and prepare for further investigations.
Slides referred by Biomedical Scientists or Clinical Scientists for additional clinical input.
They do not head Biomedical Science professional staff or countersign our work.
If general medical practitioners require clarification or interpretation of laboratory reports, this can be provided by Laboratory Science staff or the Clinical Consultant.
On several occasions, we advise doctors on patient reports, and doctors often contact the laboratory for guidance. Medical consultants focus on patient care and advising fellow clinicians, while working collaboratively with Biomedical Science professionals to ensure quality patient care.

I don't think the main issue is “let us head your department.”
At least not from what I have gathered.
It's mainly about ACCESS to the lab.
I don't see how we can't collaborate as health professionals.
CW@psy_rus
@dr_bandak Thank you Dr for this write up. “Let us head your department if not we won’t work”…even when the places they are in reality heading are terribly mismanaged. At least one benefit of what they’re doing is that it’s throwing more like on just how unprofessional some are.

This was never about patient safety.

@enyo_lissa "Do you work in a pharmacy or you’re a pharmacist?"
Oh this one dierr I have asked some before
I can't have an unqualified personnel give me advice on drugs
English
Person: What do you do?
Me: I’m a pharmacist
P: which of them?
Me: (confused) Idgu, what do you mean by which of them?
P: Do you work in a pharmacy or you’re a pharmacist?
Me: I have a PharmD degree
P: oh nice
Now you have to explain the kind of pharmacist you are?😭😂😂 Herh

@godfrey_amoah Boss show results you validated
Show one

You see why sometimes when you work outside Ghana it’s difficult to come and back to our homeland to work with some of these ignorant confident beings 😂😂😂.
As I am now validating results in Uk labs, I am an idiot or you get sense pass these advance systems. Herrrr
Does he even know how QMS and ISO 15189 outline lab systems? Jesus

@Agyenim29166786 @godfrey_amoah What's your point? Say it and give examples
English
@godfrey_amoah Calm down …is it any lab a Doctor will worry you about or stress you to make sure the results are correct. Is any Dr fighting you over Grouping, CBC, RFT, LFT, electrolytes or 99% of labs?
English
The Dr is clueless and ignorant to be using those language . I have tried to restrain from commenting on the interview but I can’t anymore. Does he know the rigorous QMS put in place to put results out?
And the labs they sent outside KBTH, are run by carpenters right?
What a confident ignorant professional.

I just watched this interview of a Korle Bu doctor explaining the strike and I’m honestly angry. Saying lab professionals “don’t have the training to correlate results with clinical findings” is simply false. Clinical correlation is part of our training. It’s exactly why we ask for DIAGNOSIS on request forms. You cannot send incomplete forms with no diagnosis, then turn around and say labs can’t correlate results. ALSO, The claim that labs have been producing “nonsensical” results for 10–15 years is not just inaccurate, it’s reckless. If that were true, we would have system-wide clinical failure, no routine care still functioning across the country. Lab medicine is not guesswork. It’s a regulated discipline built on SOPs, internal QC, EQA schemes, validation protocols and trained professionals who understand both the analytics and the clinical context. And since we’re talking about “why tests are repeated” and “why revenue drops,” let’s not pretend there aren’t other drivers. There are well-known practices where requests are redirected to private labs so that you the prescribers get a commission and we know it all too well and that has to be part of the conversation too. If there are specific cases of poor quality, present the data, audit it, fix it. But blanket statements about incompetence???? After training for 6 plus years I beg to differ! We all want patient safety. That requires accurate testing, proper clinical information and honest collaboration. Not selective narratives that place blame on one group while ignoring the full picture.
