This paper reports on the effort and progress in piloting World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa (WHO-AFRO) recognition and accreditation preparedness in six health facility laboratories in five different states of Nigeria. The effort resulted in measurable and positive impact on the laboratories. Further improvement toward a formal international accreditation status and scale-up of WHO-AFRO Stepwise Laboratory (Quality) Improvement Process Towards Accreditation (SLIPTA) implementation in Nigeria is recommended.
