Abstract
In Thailand, there are around 2,000 clinical laboratories in private and government hospitals, By the end of year 2004, all of these laboratories are required to use the same or comparable standard nationwide. Many laboratories are in the process of starting ISO/IEC Guide 25 for the fulfillment of laboratory accreditation. To run the standard system of hematology laboratories in Thailand, we have considered three main aspects: standard in process, method selection and academic interpretation. Because of the wide spectrum of blood diseases in Thailand: thalassemia, iron deficiency anemia and G6PD deficiency hemolytic disease, the analysis and interpretation of laboratory results using different technology are of great importance. National plan has thus set up in two direction, one for standard process and another for academic approach.
