- In a significant milestone for quality-assured healthcare under the Ministry of Ayush, the Clinical Laboratory at the Central Ayurveda Research Institute (CARI), Bengaluru, has been awarded ISO 15189:2022 accreditation for both Biochemistry and Haematology—becoming the first institute under the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) to achieve this distinction.
