We understand that the success of each project in part depends on how well the program is designed, the accuracy of results, robust technology and data for confident decision making throughout the process. We therefore listen to our clients closely and offer tailor-made services unique to their needs and CT projects.
We offer analytical and support services such as logistics and EDI to contract research organizations for their clinical research projects. We have conducted approximately 439 clinical research assignments, as of March 31, 2018, for contract research organizations and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Our contract for clinical research studies involves providing services such as site initiation, specimen and report logistics, specimen analysis, reporting, long term specimen storage service, data management, EDI and co-ordination amongst all parties involved in the study.
Quality Assurance
Our quality assurance system enables a process oriented approach to ensure quality testing through use of standard operating procedures, management of documents and records, implementation of quality control, external quality assessment (including proficiency testing) and robust internal audits. Our quality assurance system covers the entire value chain of our laboratory operations. Besides core laboratory operations and front-end services, our quality assurance system extends to physical infrastructure, procedures for purchase and inventory management, equipment maintenance, customer service, human resource management and process improvement.




We have adopted standard operating procedures for our clinical laboratories and other facilities designed to improve processes for patient preparation and collection, handling, storage and transportation of specimens, as well as to ensure accurate and timely test results. Our quality assurance efforts focus on positive patient identification of specimens, report accuracy, proficiency testing, reference range relevance and process audits for all of our clinical laboratories, patient touch points and institutional touch points. We also have systems and procedures in place to monitor quality through inter-laboratory comparisons, to maintain reporting standards within our network. We also focus on training and competency of professional and technical staff, and continue to implement initiatives to enhance our quality and standardization. We use customer complaints and feedbacks to review our processes and make improvements, as and when indicated, to further improve service to our customers. We also have a pre-analytical check team in place to ensure quality standard of our patient touch points. We also provide telephonic support to our patients, doctors and institutional customers, through our in-house as well as third-party call centers (in selected locations), which are operated by professionally trained advisors.
Instituted in 1981, Metropolis has founded its reputation on accurate, reliable and consistent laboratory testing and reports. While global gold-standard accreditations like the CAP are an indicator of the quality at Metropolis, the real testimony lies in the fact that our clients include top hospitals, multihospital groups, top individual doctors and consultants and other network laboratories that have relentlessly placed their trust in Metropolis. Our CAP proficiency score at 98.5 puts us amongst the top 1% laboratories worldwide for quality testing. In addition, Metropolis is also accredited by NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories), a nodal government institution promoted by the Department of Science & Technology.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Metropolis’ approach to Corporate Social Responsibility is based on the principle that awareness leads to empowerment. Awareness in its myriad compositions seeks to make us better equipped, empowered individuals. We believe in education that comes from awareness and the one that leads to empowerment. As we provide the highest quality of pathology service to our customers with a sense of integrity and empathy, we also actively seek opportunities to contribute to the well-being of the communities in which we do business.
For the past 3 decades, Metropolis has been at the forefront in conducting impactful camps and driving numerous workshops for different sections of the society. We partner with societies, corporate groups, educational institutions, government bodies, NGOs, wellness foundations and a host of other organizations to make a difference to the lives we touch.
Metropolis Healthcare Ltd identified four different areas to contribute and truly make a difference through its well-designed programs.

Too Shy To Ask

Often young girls and boys have many questions during their growing up years. They resort to either internet or their friends for information. The internet is a barrage of inaccurate information and often these kids are misguided by incorrect notions. Too Shy To Ask is an app that helps solve these problems. This serious gender awareness app gives accurate information on sexual health, reproductive health, nutrition, vaccinations, gender equity and equality.
