This is our unique selling proposition, and upon this ground we have been challenging competitor laboratories around the island since 1993.
In line with the aforesaid, prior year 2008, lots of controversies existed on the quality and reliability of medical results from laboratories around the island. In that, the authorities decided to promote the idea of having all Medical Laboratories over the island to be ISO 15189 compliant, which many have failed and very few have succeeded on the first trial, among which, we are the FIRST one.
Fundamentally, we consider ourselves to be a pride and asset for the growing medical hub in Mauritius as being the pioneer in this accreditation. Biosante Medical Laboratories have a clean and ethical track record for 22 years now and being the FIRST to be accredited ISO 15189 is just another proof of its excellence in the field of medical testing and diagnostic support of the highest quality, with latest technologies.

Quick Help For You
Why should you fast before blood tests?
Fasting for a certain length of time before a blood test is one way of ensuring that your test results are not contaminated by the food you’ve eaten. Most doctors will still ask that you fast for at least 12 hours before your appointment. For certain other kinds of tests, such as a blood glucose test, fasting is necessary.
What is fasting?
Fasting means not eating and only drinking sips of water. If you are fasting, you can’t drink fruit juice, soft drink, coffee, tea or milk, and you can’t eat or suck on lollies and chewing gum.
What Are Blood Tests?
Blood tests help doctors check for certain diseases and conditions. They also help check the function of your organs and show how well treatments are working. When you have routine checkups, your doctor may recommend blood tests to see how your body is working.
Preparations for blood tests
You can eat and drink as normal before some blood tests. However, for others you may be given specific instructions so that the test results aren’t affected, for example, not to eat and sometimes not to drink before your test (known as a fasting blood test).
Pregnancy Test
Medical tests are important in a prenatal care. These tests can help reassure her that the baby is doing well as it develops, and any necessary actions can be taken. These test results help the doctor determine what treatments may be necessary during this pregnancy or what actions might be taken before another pregnancy is attempted.
