Do Doctors In General Hospitals Accept Clinical Tests Done Outside The Hospital? by dewstar: 8:14am On Nov 12, 2015
I was at the Igando general hospital in Lagos yesterday to see the doctor. After seeing the doctor I was given some papers and told to do some tests. As I was going to look for the test lab I was approached by a lady who told me I. Could do the test and get a same day result (general hospital tests takes about 3days) at a lab outside the hospital.

I would like to find out from someone who may have patronized people like this if the tests are as good as what obtains in the hospital and also if they will be accepted by doctors there. I need to do this test today and so I need urgent help b4 I go with her. Pls help with some advice.
