Background

The African Society for Laboratory Medicine (ASLM) is currently implementing an organizational ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System (QMS) aimed at strengthening operational effectiveness, governance, and service delivery. ASLM is in the process of preparing for ISO 9001:2015 certification as part of its strategic commitment to quality, efficiency, and continual improvement.

Objectives

The primary objective of this engagement is to obtain independent, credible, recognized ISO 9001:2015 certification from an accredited body for the ASLM Quality Management System covering all identified functions, processes, and locations.
