The scope for certification for Caribbean Surgery Inc. covers biochemistry, hematology, Urology and PCR covid-19.

Through its Laboratory Certification Programme, the GNBS monitors the operations of laboratories involved in testing, measurement and/ or calibration activities to ensure that they are satisfying the criteria for certification and the requirements outlined in the National Standard.

Laboratories, which conform to the requirements of this standard, are provided with formal recognition to attest that they have implemented an effective laboratory management system, which aids their provision of accurate and reliable results to customers. GNBS also carries out surveillance checks during the certification period to ensure that the laboratory management system is maintained. Besides the certificate, the GNBS presented the Lab with a plaque and two certification stickers which were posted in the facility.

There are now twenty-three (23) clinical and testing laboratories certified by the GNBS. The Bureau encourages more uncertified laboratories to become certified under its Laboratory Certification Programme to receive the recognition and to deliver services that meet customer expectations.
