1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY of Medical Diagnostic Laboratory

The following reports and recommendation relate to the proposal of
Daystar Diagnostic Laboratory to establish a medical diagnostic
centre at Afikpo, Ebonyi state.

· The project would require a start-up capital of NX naira of which
NY naira is fixed and NZ naira is the working capital.

· The vision of the laboratory is to be the most outstanding,
qualified and reliable laboratory in Afikpo and within the state at
large

· The laboratory will be located at Mgbom, Afikpo because of good road
network, free land availability and its nearness to a hospital without
a laboratory that will form alliance with the laboratory.

· A huge market is available for the business to serve the entire
populace, both sick and healthy ones will serve as clients or
customers to the laboratory.

· The diagnostic laboratory will generate revenue through tax payment
for the government, and create job for the teaming youth.

· The funding requirement of the project is NB naira of which NC naira
is to be obtained as loan from the bank while ND naira will be
provided by the owner.

· The financial projections show that the project will be financially
stable and commercially viable by the time it matures. A net profit of
N2273740, N2849000, and N3, 569000 are expected for the 1st, and 2nd
and 3rd years respectively.

· Only three competitors have been identified, one strong and the
other two weak. But the laboratory shall have competitive edge over
them in terms of quick service delivery aided by automation and
accurate diagnosis with reliable results.

· From the analytical points of view, the proposed project is found to
be technically feasible, financially viable and economically
desirable. Thus, it is recommended for implementation.

SECTION II

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The idea to establish a unique, Daystar diagnostic laboratory at
Afikpo is the result of the supervision recently conducted by medical
laboratory scientists that revealed that of the three medical
laboratories instituted in the area, only one is up to standard
probably because it is within a hospital while the others are owned
and managed by people who have no knowledge of the profession and did
not even study it as a course.

People even with their money, suffer and die of sicknesses whose
causes could be identified and the right treatment given if the
existing laboratories were competent. I think this is an ample
opportunity to establish a qualified laboratory whose competence is
well known to the general public because of the quality of service/
diagnosis it is capable of delivering.

2.2 VISION

v To be the most outstanding, qualified and reliable medical
laboratory in Afikpo of Ebonyi state and within the state at large.

the release of impeccable results.

reliable result through the use of well trained personnel and modern
automation.
