The services provided by Medical Laboratory Accreditation are essential for patient care and for any health system because their results are the main input for medical decision making. For this reason, in ONAC, we have prepared ourselves to have the technical competence to meet the accreditation requests of the laboratories that perform tests related to the sector and thus contribute to strengthening the quality infrastructure of the country.
In the accreditation scheme of Medical Laboratory Accreditation, we assess the technical competence for the performance of tests under the compliance of the requirements of the ISO 15189 standard. The fulfillment of all its requirements allows us to guarantee that the Medical Laboratory Accreditation have a management system, the necessary infrastructure, competent personnel, and the necessary equipment. Thus, in the end, the patients have the security and confidence in the clinical results and the subsequent medical diagnosis derived from them. Thanks to the multilateral recognition agreements of which ONAC is part, these results are recognized in Colombia and internationally.
In ONAC we have been concerned in recent years to cover all the market needs. Today, we have the technical capacity to run assessments in several disciplines, such as clinical bacteriology, biochemistry, hemostasis, immunology, genetics, hematology, mycology, parasitology, pathology, virology, mycology and virology. Other services or disciplines such as clinical physiology, diagnostic imaging, and medical physics could also make use of this scheme.
