OUR APPROACH TO QUALITY

We have robust systems in place to ensure high quality services and results for our customers and patients.

The Chief Quality Officer and the Quality Team oversee and support all quality related topics.

The Chief Quality Officer is accountable directly to our Chief Executive Officer

Expert teams oversee every aspect of our processes, from pre analytical to analytical and post analytical.

In addition to internal control measures, our quality processes are reviewed and audited by internal and external regulatory authorities. We use quality management systems that comply with all applicable standards and regulations and other leading standards organizations.
