Accreditation is one of the mechanisms used to evaluate and improve the quality of our care and services. The accreditation process involves internal self-evaluations followed by an external audit conducted by outside professionals. It is based on national standards of excellence. This accreditation is recognized nationally and internationally.

All the laboratories in the Network participate in a separate accreditation process and are accredited by IQMH (Institute for Quality Management in Healthcare). IQMH is an independent, not-for-profit organization that grants the "accredited" status to medical laboratories.
