Aims to commence operations in three more states by end of 2023
Sodexo HTM’s Kolkata laboratory has earned NABL accreditation for the scope of testing and calibration of
biomedical equipments. The NABL accreditation puts Sodexo HTM Lab at par with other laboratories accredited by 76 accreditation bodies in 64 economies across the world. NABL or National Accreditation Board of Testing and
Calibration Laboratories is a constituent board of Quality Council in India with the scope of ISO:IEC:17025:2017.
According to Sharad Misra, Country Segment Director – Health & Care, Sodexo India, “Receiving NABL accreditation is a matter of pride, and it is an attestation of our capability and efficiency. We are confident that it will boost client confidence in us. By associating with us for maintenance of biomedical equipment and its lifecycle management, healthcare institutions will find a ready means for reliable testing and calibration, manage costs and focus on their core, which is quality patient treatment backed by accurate diagnosis. It will provide them with better control of laboratory operations, safety along with compliance for their NABH accreditation.”
“Kolkata has been one of the first labs for Sodexo HTM in India. Today, the lab boasts of 5000+ spares catering to over 550 sites, including small and medium hospitals and diagnostic centres in West Bengal and North-East with a team of 150+ biomedical technicians. The success of the project in the region and other states, along with the continuing buoyant demand for improved healthcare services in the country makes us look at an expanded footprint. We aim to commence operations in three more states by end of 2023”, added Misra.
