1 年As you are being polite as you are a gem of a man, I would like to rephrase your headline as 'Ugly truths behind Testing'. As a health journalist of over two decades in Delhi NCR I am sorry to inform that all diagnostic labs in Delhi NCR are not like your City X ray. There would hardly be 10 out of 1000 odd diagnostic labs operating in the area measuring up to your standard. Dr Aakaar, unless the domain is regulated , it is a veritable Augean Stable now. I think and, as an ethical and gold standard diagnostic lab, you would also second me that domain of diagnostic labs needs a purge forthwith to save patients from the consequences that are attendant on substandard diagnostic labs. I have been raising the issue of diagnostic lab's quality question on different fora. The government's allowance of import of Second hand machines have only enhanced my worst fears about Diagnostic labs in the country.. Only recently, I raised it in a very important webinar where interlocutors were all renowned persons who fiercely guard the quality and safety pitfalls in healthcare. They also red flagged the ugly truths about diagnostic labs M.A.Maluk Mohamed??
