Asian Institute of Medical Sciences, Faridabad’s first super-specialty hospital today achieved yet another major milestone. In a record time since inception, AIMS has been granted NABL status.
Speaking on the occasion said Dr NK Pandey, Chief Surgeon, Chairman and MD, Asian Institute of Medical Sciences, “Within a short span of its existence Asian Institute of Medical Sciences has performed landmark surgeries and brought world class medical facilities to Delhi –NCR. 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, Asian Institute of Medical Sciences said, “At AIMS, all the tests that are undertaken are included within the scope of accreditation. The NABL accreditation will further 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.
He also highlighted the USP of the laboratory services and stated, “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 tumor is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). 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, “Furthermore we are the only lab in Faridabad using chemiluminescence technology for diagnosis of both infectious and non-infectious diseases including cancer markers, hormone assays and drug and vitamin levels. The technology employed is far superior to other technologies like ELISA and rapid testing, chemiluminescence being more sensitive and specific.”
