B D NarayankarMETROPOLIS HEALTH Services, a multinational chain of diagnostics centres, has become the first and only Indian diagnostic laboratory to be accredited by SANAS (South African National Accreditation System). As a result, the Metropolis boasts of the largest number of key and globally-recognised accreditations in the country.
SANAS is recognised by the South African government as the single national accreditation body, that accords formal recognition to laboratories, certification bodies, inspection bodies, proficiency testing scheme providers and good laboratory practice (GLP) test facilities, certifying their competencies to carry out qualified tests.
On the occasion, Dr G S K Velu, managing director, Metropolis Health Services said, “We consider it a great privilege to have been given the SANAS accreditation. It is also a matter of great pride that with this, Metropolis has the highest number of primary global accreditations in the country.”
“Metropolis has the highest number of primary global accreditations in the country. This follows our recent global accreditations from Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), College of American Pathologists (CAP) and domestic accreditation from National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) and reflects our endeavour to constantly offer quality and premium services to our customers.”
These accreditations have raised the bar of expectations internally while also ensuring and reaffirming Metropolis’ quality assurance system and technical competence, he said.
