Link Medical Diagnostic & Research Laboratories (LinkLab) has once again raised the bar—this time by successfully upgrading its accreditation from ISO 15189:2012 to the more advanced ISO 15189:2022 standard.
This milestone reaffirms LinkLab’s unwavering commitment to delivering accuracy, quality, and global-standard diagnostic services to patients and healthcare professionals in Nigeria.
This international accreditation is a significant step in our journey to provide world-class medical diagnostic services. It reflects our dedication to quality, accuracy, and patient-centered healthcare delivery.
What Does ISO 15189:2022 Mean?
ISO 15189:2022 is the latest global standard for medical laboratories, focusing on the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of diagnostic labs.
By meeting these rigorous requirements, LinkLab ensures that every test result you receive is:
Accurate – reducing diagnostic errors.
Reliable – ensuring consistent test outcomes.
Globally Recognized – meeting international healthcare standards.
A First for Southeast Nigeria
We are proud to be the first and only private medical laboratory in Southeast Nigeria to achieve ISO 15189:2022 accreditation.
This recognition sets us apart as a leader in diagnostic excellence and healthcare innovation in the region.
It also means patients, doctors, and partner hospitals can have even greater confidence in the integrity of our laboratory results.
Why This Accreditation Matters
- Global Trust, Local Impact: ISO 15189:2022 is the latest international standard for medical laboratory quality and competence. LinkLab’s certification positions it as a trusted partner for clinicians and patients who demand precision.
- First Among Peers: LinkLab remains the first and only private laboratory in Southeast Nigeria—and indeed the only indigenous one in both Southeast and South-South Nigeria—to achieve this accreditation.
- Legacy of Excellence: This upgrade builds on our earlier 2012 accreditation—another regional first, as confirmed by the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) in 2022.

The 2022 version emphasizes:
- Patient-centered risk management
