Asiri Laboratory’s first local lab to receive 15189-2012 accreditation
View(s):Asiri Laboratory, seen as the market leader in diagnostics, recently received the esteemed 15189-2012 international accreditation, the first in Sri Lanka to obtain this new version.
“The globally recognised standard evolved from its predecessor, 15189-2007, evaluated excellence at every touch point of medical lab services, starting with advice to clinicians, collection, transport and reception, examination of finished samples plus reporting and interpretation. The tough audit and stringent accreditation assures performance, encompassing products, people, facilities and supply chains through verification, assessment, training and services to create superior stakeholder and customer trust,” the hospital company said in a media release.
Director of Asiri Laboratory, Neil Priyath John, said, “in many ways, this accreditation endorses the fact that our lab and facilities are making tremendous strides in providing the highest quality of care to our customers. The affirmation by an independent reviewer strengthens our determination to excel at all levels of delivery”.
Asiri Laboratory said it will benefit from this industry-wide recognition in that the latest best practice modules are in place, which “underscores performance and enters a highly respected network of similar labs across the world for cross border treatments”.
