Welcome to the
“Laboratory Medicine Foundation”

Since its establishment in 2010, the Foundation has spearheaded the standardization and advancement of laboratory medicine in Korea, with the focus on improving public health and elevating the quality of diagnostic medicine. Our diverse initiatives—including the Outstanding Laboratory Accreditation Program, laboratory quality management, education and research, and international cooperation—the Foundation has played a pivotal role in the field of laboratory medicine. By operating an impartial and rigorous accreditation system for outstanding laboratories, we have made significant contributions to public health and strengthened the competitiveness of domestic in vitro diagnostics industry.

Looking ahead, the Foundation will focus on further advancing the laboratory accreditation system, implementing digital-based quality management systems, enhancing diagnostic accuracy through big data and artificial intelligence, strengthening alignment with international standards, and nurturing specialized professionals to prepare for the future. In particular, we are committed to ongoing efforts in laboratory standardization, expanding global partnerships, and enhancing educational and research infrastructure. Through the expansion of quality improvement research projects and various educational initiatives, including workshops for practitioners, we will reinforce close collaboration with the field of laboratory medicine.

Moreover, we will proactively respond to the evolving healthcare environment shaped by big data and AI in laboratory medicine, and strive for the globalization of the discipline through innovative research and robust academia-industry-clinical partnerships. The Foundation will continue to fulfill its social responsibility by making tangible contributions to public health and the quality of medical care, further solidifying its role as a central institution in K-Medicine.
