PathLab Medical Laboratories
Ltd is pleased to announce that on May 18th 2006, it has
been awarded HOKLAS accreditation for Medical Testing
in Chemistry, Hematology, Immunology and Microbiology
disciplines.
Our
laboratory accreditation number is 805S, and our Scope
of Accreditation lists the tests for which we are
accredited.
This accreditation was awarded as a result
of a series of stringent on-site inspections by HOKLAS-approved
pathologists and scientists from HK and overseas. HOKLAS
medical testing standards are based on the requirements
of ISO 15189:2007. Inspection of policies, procedures,
records, internal Quality Control and External Quality
Assurance Programs (EQAP) were all part of the process.
ISO 15189 is now the world-recognized medical
laboratory accreditation standard, which has been adopted
by scores of countries, including Canada, Australia,
NZ and some USA accreditation bodies. HOKLAS has concluded
mutual recognition agreements/arrangements
(MRA) with more than 50 laboratory accreditation bodies.
PathLab went through the medical testing
accreditation process because it wishes to ensure the
highest standard of laboratory results, in order to
provide reliable and accurate diagnostic information
for doctors, and for the care of their patients. It
has served Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories physicians,
hospitals and other medically-related institutions for
over 30 years.
Laboratory Director, Mrs. Marianne Leung
said, "PathLab has never been more proud than to
achieve this international standard accreditation. We
will endeavor to keep our commitment to quality, and
to maintain our standards in service and technology."
