In the medical field, the quality of tests plays a crucial role in helping doctors screen, diagnose and provide the most effective treatment for patients. Accurate testing helps doctors diagnose and treat the correct disease, help patients save costs and shorten treatment time and take the right drugs. This further motivates laboratories to develop quality management systems and improve their capacity and techniques to meet ISO 15189:2012 standards.

The event of GENTIS receiving the Certificate of Accreditation continues to maintain ISO 15189:2012 for GenEva services and expands ISO 15189:2012 for 3 services: NIPT, PGT A, Thalassemia Neonatal Screening once again affirms the quality of safe and effective testing services for Vietnamese citizens.

ISO 15189:2012 is a system that guides the control of all 3 stages before, during and after of the testing process and issues related to testing, bringing officials to perform quality control tests complying to a mandatory procedure. The application of ISO 15189:2012 standard is a reliable basis to help doctors when offering the most appropriate and effective treatment method for patients.

In addition, the application of ISO 15189:2012 standards also helps test processes to be standardized, implemented synchronously, consistently, scientifically and correctly from the starting point to ensure quality. Moreover, it promotes strictly fulfilling the commitment of safe sample taking, returning results as soon as possible and keeping customer information confidential.

To achieve ISO 15189:2012, GENTIS must meet a lot of requirements in terms of management capacity, equipment, personnel competence and process compliance.... This is a testament to the reliability of the GenEva, NIPT, PGT A and Thalassemia Neonatal Screening tests at GENTIS.
