 The Chief Medical Doctor, University College Hospital Professor Jesse Ortegbio says health workers in the country are unpaid as only God can reward them for their work. Ortegbio made this known while addressing the unbound medical laboratory scientists at the International Medical Laboratory Science at the University College Hospital, Ibadon. Also speaking, the Chairman, Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria, a United States Chapter, Idoo Akimbollah, uploaded the United States government on how it dealt with the issue of COVID-19 in the state. Other speakers said the celebration gives the profession a day to promote and celebrate themselves as professionals. They called on the federal government to spend more on the health sector and put a stop to medical tourism. We have to do to ensure that all our hospitals are adequately equipped and also that the health workers are adequately trained and of course adequate remuneration. We are just such a huge country that it will be difficult to meet all the needs at a time and with the efforts that the current administration is putting in place, I believe things will be better. Our adequate sponsorship of manpower in terms of quality diagnostic equipment to work with. The government, the NGOs, international sponsors to actually equip our laboratories to actually make it worthwhile just are the international standard that we have. In doing this, I believe that it's going to have a way of reducing the rate of medical tourism by our leaders. Most of our laboratories, most especially when you look at the government laboratories, they are not properly equipped with the state of the heart equipment. The world is advancing on daily basis and things are changing on daily basis. The world of science is dynamic and on daily basis, new infection comes. You have to actually diagnose those new infections that you have to use, but we stick to the equipment to be able to do this. So I want to implore your state government to actually ensure that all our laboratories are properly equipped and make conducive for medical laboratories personnel to be able to work in that particular place.
