Quality Assurance & Accreditation
Quality and precision are the cornerstones of our laboratory. To maintain the highest standards of diagnostic accuracy, we actively participate in the External Quality Assessment Scheme (EQAS) in collaboration with CMC Vellore across all three major domains:
Histopathology, Cytology & FNAC
Our histopathology and cytology department is staffed by experienced consultant pathologists who provide expert tissue diagnosis — the gold standard for confirming cancer and most other serious diagnoses. We process biopsies from KG Hospital's surgical, gastroenterology, and oncology teams.
Histopathology Services
Cytology & FNAC
Hormone Assays & Tumour Markers
Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) technology on our automated hormone analysers delivers superior sensitivity and precision for endocrine and oncology biomarkers — critical for thyroid disorders, fertility evaluation, and cancer monitoring.
Thyroid Function
TSH (3rd generation), free T3, free T4, anti-TPO antibody, anti-thyroglobulin, thyroglobulin (post-thyroidectomy monitoring). Newborn TSH screening.
Reproductive Hormones

NABL Accreditation & Quality Standards
NABL accreditation (ISO 15189) is not simply a certificate — it is a rigorous, ongoing commitment to quality management across every aspect of laboratory operation, from sample collection to result reporting.
What NABL Accreditation Means for You
KG Hospital's laboratory undergoes regular external audit by NABL assessors who evaluate our personnel competency, equipment calibration, reference ranges, quality control programmes, and result reporting accuracy. This independent verification gives you confidence that your test results are reliable and comparable to international standards.
