Kotoka International Airport’s Terminal 3
LEDing Medical Laboratory has refuted reports that it issued a fake COVID-19 test on a Ghanaian woman who travelled to Nigeria last Sunday.
This comes after one Portia Kissi Adu disclosed to Accra-based radio station Starr FM that some airport officials insisted she undertook a new COVID-19 test after it emerged they did not recognize an earlier one conducted at Noguchi.
But in a reaction to the reports, LEDing Medical Laboratory in a statement noted, it “never issued a COVID-19 test which is clearly demonstrated by the presence of a serial number on the fake test report that does not correspond to the authentic automated serial numbers (both in sequence and numbers) generated and used by LEDing Medical Laboratory in serving the general public”
