Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have a generic query. Can we trust the NABL and CAP accreditation laboratories in terms of reliability and accuracy? And what does they mean? And all NABL and CAP labs are of same quality? Please explain in detail.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is good that you are noticing such accreditation. NABL accreditation laboratory definitely has good quality work and is more reliable. NABL is not compulsory to all laboratory but its accreditation ensures that the laboratry is following standards set by NABL board to provide good reports to the patient. So, yes you can rely on NABL accrediated laboratory. Take care.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
