It also contributes to harmonizing healthcare standards, facilitating regional cooperation, and improving the overall quality of healthcare delivery.
Regulation of medical labs is essential to safeguard the well-being and health of the population. It ensures that labs adhere to specific standards and guidelines, guaranteeing the accuracy, safety, and reliability of their services.
By minimizing the risks associated with unregulated practices in medical testing and analysis, regulation protects patients from misdiagnoses, delayed treatment, and potential harm.
It also fosters public confidence in the healthcare system, ultimately benefitting both patients and healthcare providers.
