Future
The GMI Laboratories originally existed as one facility, the Molecular Biology Laboratory also previously known as Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory, from which evolved another Laboratory called the Immunology Laboratory.
The Genomics and Molecular Unit has adopted and implemented the Laboratory Quality Management System, ISO 15189:2012 whereas Immunology Unit adopted the same system in February 2022.
Recently, the Genomics and Molecular Biology Unit emerged from the Molecular Biology Laboratory, as the Immunology Unit was formulated from the native Immunology Laboratory. Both facilities operate under one complex, the Genomics, Molecular and Immunology Laboratories (GMI Labs), which name was adopted in January 2022 for ease of operationalization.
GMI also defines clearly the GMI Laboratories’ Policies, Quality Objectives, Processes and Procedures that control the effective and efficient delivery of all the GMI Labs services.

Why conduct a lab test with GMI or her affiliated labs?
The GMI Laboratories Quality Manual serves as a guide to the implementation of its Quality Management System (QMS) and it summarizes its entire QMS implementation processes.
Reference
Also, in this manual, references are made to different Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and other documents as used in the GMI Labs.
Policies
The manual also defines clearly the GMI Laboratories’ Policies, Quality Objectives, Processes and Procedures that control the effective and efficient delivery of all the GMI Labs services.
