Abstract:
The practice of medicine in the modern era is exclusively evidence based, focuses on justifiable laboratory reports contributing effective and opportune patient management. For many years, clinical laboratories have picked up astounding significance in medical care services. Laboratory investigations are essential for medical diagnosis in patient care as well as medical research. Reliability of laboratory data/report is therefore of paramount importance. Good Clinical Laboratory Practices (GCLP) is essential to be implemented in the field of medical research and health care services to ensure reliability of laboratory data. Medical Laboratory Professionals endorse the decency, decorum, honour, morality, and self-respect of the profession and maintain a integrity, competence, reputation of honesty, authenticity, and accuracy. All laboratories engaged in testing of biological samples need to establish confidence in the quality and reliability of the results of these tests. In the current time, ethical concerns exist everywhere whether it is a medical field or life science.
Medicine, at the center of which is the sick and dying man, has developed humanism and the morality of pity for the afflicted "Noli noceri",(First do no harm)"Salus aegroti - supreme lex"( let the welfare of the people be the supreme law ). It coincides with the motto of the World Academy of Medical Sciences mission. "Dedication to duty in a mission for mankind".
