title: [Positioning of registered clinical laboratories in proper health care].
abstract: "Proper Health Care" is deemed to mean "Patient-conscious Health Care". On this basis, we have four tasks to achieve. They are: improvement in testing precision (quality control), heightened sense of medical ethics, satisfying the needs of medical institutions to outsource laboratory tests, and increased contribution to community health care. We are certainly aware that these tasks cannot be achieved overnight, however, we are determined to do our very best to reach our goal through day-to-day efforts in providing our customers with consistent and reliable services.
