This is flowing the opening of testing centres at Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja; Lekki Phase 1, and the latest for Medbury is the use of the Google Playstore, which will be operational soon.
Efective February 24, 2021, COVID-19 testing began at the new facility and residents that visited reportedly enjoyed the service at the facility, as clients can walk in or drive through and get tested within 15 minutes.
As characteristic of Medbury in delivering excellence, the new centre is clean, well-organised with well-trained staff and sample collectors, to ensure extremely fast service with nil waiting time.
“We will continue to improve our services with the use of feedback from our clients and technology to deliver superb customer experience for our clients.
