The certification of Isiolo Referral Hospital’s laboratory by the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS) shows the lab meets the global best practices under the international standard ISO 15189:2022.
The Accreditation follows a prior independent and rigorous evaluation of the state-of-the-art lab.
This is a globally recognized standard specifically designed for medical laboratories that sets strict requirements for quality management systems, staff competence and training, equipment calibration and maintenance.
This accreditation represents the highest globally recognized benchmark for competence and reliability in medical testing. It’s widely regarded as the “gold standard” for medical laboratory quality.
Patients visiting the laboratory are assured of accurate test results and reduced risk of diagnostic errors.
The recognition is expected to strengthen local healthcare delivery by enhancing disease diagnosis and management while also building public trust in the county health system.
