The National Center of Expertise is consistently implementing a program to bring the laboratories of its regional branches in line with international quality standards. Extensive work continues every year: major and routine repairs are carried out, the vehicle fleet is renewed, laboratory equipment is modernized and updated, and specialists undergo regular training and advanced professional development.

These efforts are part of a comprehensive strategy to strengthen the capacity of the laboratory network of the National Center of Expertise. At the core of this approach is the commitment to ensuring the high accuracy, reliability, and objectivity of laboratory testing, which directly impacts the safety and health of the population.
