Dear Colleagues and Friends of KEQAS

Welcome to the Korean Association of External Quality Assessment Service (KEQAS)!
As the President of KEQAS, I am honored to welcome all our visitors warmly.

Since its establishment in 1976, the Korea Association of External Quality Assessment Service (KEQAS) has strived to ensure that
our members adhere to the highest standards of quality and integrity in laboratory medicine. To improve the quality of the clinical
laboratory, standardization of test, and the accuracy of the test, we are operating a EQA survey for 95 programs and 527 test items
as of November 2024, and we are continuously working to expand the test items and the pre-analytical phases.

The annual Spring and Autumn Conference provides a place to acquire knowledge and strengthen friendships among members
through various academic topics. We publish academic journals and newsletters four times a year to share helpful information on
the latest trends related to laboratory medicine.

In addition, we are thrilled to announce the 50th Anniversary International Congress of KEQAS, a landmark event celebrating five
decades of excellence in external quality assessment. This Congress will bring together experts, practitioners, and academics
worldwide to share insights, discuss innovations, and explore the future of quality assessment. We invite all members and
interested parties to join us in this momentous celebration. Stay tuned for more details and registration information.

Thank you for visiting our website. We look forward to your continued support and engagement with KEQAS.
