Asian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), has been granted NABL status in a record time since inception. Speaking on the occasion, Dr NK Pandey, Chief Surgeon, Chairman and MD, AIMS said, “The very recent National Accreditation Board for Testing & Calibration Laboratories (NABL) accreditation for AIMS is testimony to the fact that we maintain and adhere to the highest possible standards in laboratory tests as in all other testing and diagnostic facilities.”
Dr Ramesh Chandna, Director, Quality and Laboratory Services, AIMS said, “The NABL accreditation will benefit patients and also make them aware that we have certified approval for precision, accuracy and timely delivery of reports. In addition to NABL accreditation, we have a well constructed internal as well as external quality assurance programme.”
Highlighting the USP of the laboratory services he said, “Many a time, during critical surgeries, when the patient is being operated the surgeon needs to decide the course of action fast. The strategy, for example, for patients undergoing suspected cancer surgery can be decided only when the test results for a biopsy come in, revealing whether a tumour is benign or malignant. We are the only hospital in Faridabad to have this facility of frozen section. In thirty minutes, our lab gives results regarding the diagnosis whether the tumour is benign or malignant. In this way surgeons can minimise the number of procedures a patient has to undergo for diagnosis and most importantly know whether radical surgery is required on the patient or not.” He further elaborated, “We are the only lab in Faridabad using chemiluminescence technology for diagnosis of both infectious and non-infectious diseases. The technology employed is far superior to other technologies like ELISA and rapid testing.”
