At PCEA Chogoria Hospital, we believe that quality healthcare begins with trusted diagnostics. Today, we are thrilled to share a milestone that reflects this commitment: our laboratory has officially transitioned from ISO 15189:2012 to ISO 15189:2022 accreditation, granted by the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS).

This achievement places us among a select group of institutions nationwide recognized for meeting the highest international standards in medical laboratory quality and competence. For our patients, partners, and community, this is more than just a certificate—it is a promise of accuracy, reliability, and innovation in every test result we deliver.

ISO 15189 is the global benchmark for medical laboratories, ensuring that processes, equipment, and personnel meet rigorous standards. The 2022 update emphasizes not only technical excellence but also patient-centered care, risk management, and continuous improvement. By aligning with these standards, PCEA Chogoria Hospital demonstrates that our laboratory services are:


  • Accurate and Reliable: Every test result is backed by stringent quality controls.
  • Globally Recognized: Our accreditation assures patients and partners that we meet international best practices.
  • Future-Focused: The new ISO 15189:2022 framework encourages innovation, adaptability, and resilience in healthcare delivery.

For patients, this milestone translates into greater confidence in diagnostic outcomes—whether it’s routine blood work, specialized screenings, or complex investigations. For healthcare partners, it strengthens collaboration by ensuring that shared data and results are trustworthy and actionable.

Most importantly, it inspires us to keep pushing boundaries. Accreditation is not the finish line; it is a foundation for growth. We are already exploring advanced technologies, digital integration, and expanded services to make diagnostics faster, smarter, and more accessible.

This success is the result of teamwork, dedication, and a shared vision. From our laboratory staff who uphold meticulous standards, to our leadership that champions innovation, and to our patients who trust us with their health—this accreditation belongs to all of us.

As we celebrate this milestone, we reaffirm our commitment to excellence. At PCEA Chogoria Hospital, every test matters because every patient matters.
