New Delhi [India], October 23: BD, global leader in diagnostic devices, and the CAP (College of American Pathologists), global leader in medical laboratory EQA (External Quality Assessment) and accreditation services, celebrated 10 years of collaboration in India, addressing the growing demand of robust quality assurance for the past decade. To mark this momentous occasion and congratulate CAP-accredited labs across the country, a best practices symposium was organized at Delhi recently.
The BD-CAP partnership began in 2014, driven by a shared vision to enhance medical laboratory practices and better serve patient needs. From the outset, the partnership aimed to seamlessly integrate BD’s innovative diagnostic technologies and dedicated education initiatives with CAP’s rigorous EQA, also known as proficiency testing, and accreditation programs. This synergy delivered enhanced proficiency tests and educational resources that have significantly improved laboratory performance and reduced diagnostic errors.
Commenting on the initiative, Atul Grover, Managing Director, BD India/South Asia said, “The BD-CAP partnership is a testament to how joint efforts can be an enabler in enhancing quality of medical laboratory practices and therefore better diagnostics and patient safety. Aligned with our purpose of advancing the world of health, I am confident that by combining BD’s cutting-edge diagnostic solutions with CAP’s stringent quality standards, laboratory accuracy and reliability standards will continue to elevate, going forward.”
To commemorate a decade of BD-CAP partnership, laboratories that have been CAP accredited for over 15 years were recognized during the symposium. Experienced CAP accreditation inspectors shared recommendations for best practices for maintaining a CAP accredited laboratory. 100+ customers from India’s leading medical diagnostic labs attended the symposium, appreciating the role of BD-CAP collaboration in advancing laboratory medicine excellence and improving patient care.
