During the ceremony, the newly appointed scientists pledged to dedicate their expertise to protecting humanity and advancing the country’s public health initiatives. This oath signifies their commitment to serving Liberia with integrity and professionalism, particularly in combating public health challenges and safeguarding lives.

Addressing the inductees, NPHIL Director-General Dr. Dougbeh Chris Nyan urged them to maintain the highest standards of professionalism and dedication. “Today, we officially inducted 15 young scientists into the National Reference Laboratory (NRL). This achievement represents our ongoing commitment to strengthening Liberia’s laboratory and research capacities,” Dr. Nyan stated.

He highlighted that these recruits, which include five women, bring the total number of technical personnel at the NRL to 20 within just four months. “This increase not only boosts our laboratory and diagnostic capabilities but also enhances our ability to respond swiftly to public health emergencies. It will significantly reduce the time needed to deliver results and strengthen outbreak preparedness and response efforts,” he explained.

Dr. Nyan also commended the inductees for their courage in choosing careers dedicated to saving lives and combating deadly diseases. Their inclusion, he emphasized, marks an essential milestone in building a robust and resilient public health infrastructure for Liberia.

The newly inducted scientists now join the fight to address critical health challenges, reinforcing NPHIL’s mission to improve national health outcomes through innovation, research, and dedicated service.
