• Stock Synergy: Collaborate closely with the Store/Inventory unit to monitor usage trends and support stock reconciliation processes, ensuring clinical reagents are utilized before expiration.

• Regulatory Compliance: Verify that all medical supplies and diagnostic equipment meet NAFDAC, HEFAMAA, and other relevant international quality standards.
