Hematology is undergoing constant development. A mark of a professional approach is an immediate response to new trends and published scientific findings. Complement of laboratories IHBT follows this approach. Our goal is to provide the best services in the best possible quality. We are concerned with ensuring complete satisfaction of our clients and the benefit of patients. We strive for quality, comprehensiveness and accessibility of laboratory services.

The Complement of laboratories IHBT is formed by individual laboratories belonging to the clinical department, transfusiology department and the science and research department. Their heads manage and are responsible for processes related to the performance of laboratory tests and their clinical interpretations. The head of the Complement of laboratories IHBT is, in cooperation with them, responsible for the management of the quality management system and its maintenance and development through the quality manager of KL.

The level of implementation and compliance with the established procedures and standard requirements is very high. This applies both to the quality management system and to the professional activities of top-notch and often unique laboratories of KL. This is ensured by high professional competence of individuals at all levels of KL activity, knowledge of quality management system principles and their application in practice.

Compliance with established procedures and standard requirements is verified by a system of internal audits conducted by very experienced auditors. Identified non-conformities and established corrective measures are resolved through a very robust system of non-conformity management and corrective measures. Within KL, a functional system of continuous improvement is established.
