The laboratory at Aspetar orthopaedic and sports medicine hospital was awarded a two-year re-accreditation by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (CAP), based on the results of a recent on-site inspection.
“Our laboratory services team deserves all the accolades which this re-accreditation implies,” said Dr Asmaa Marwani, director of the department of Aspetar laboratory. “This reaccreditation reaffirms our commitment to provide the highest quality laboratory services and reliable testing results to our patients,” added Dr Marwani. This achievement follows the accreditation of Aspetar’s laboratory in 2014, and renewed two years later, demonstrating how Aspetar is continuing to provide the highest quality international standard patient care to patients around the world.
