Evaluation of measurement uncertainty in Medical Laboratories (Top-Down Approach)

The training course on the evaluation of measurement uncertainty in Medical Laboratories (Top-Down Approach) with MUKIT and Analyse-it and based on the requirements of ISO 15189:2022 standard was held at smart health tower. Smart Health Tower is a modern hospital that uses sophisticated technology to provide a high-quality service to its patients in Iraq and outside of Iraq. Smart Health Tower is composed of many different branches providing different medical services i.e. Smart Hospital, Smart Radiology Center, Smart Laboratories, Smart Pharmacy, Smart Clinics, etc. We take a wholesome approach to providing the best and most cost-efficient care to our patients.
