Founded in 1996, FACT places standards for high quality medical and laboratory practice in cellular therapies. FACT is a non-profit corporation co-founded by the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) and the American Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) for the purposes of voluntary inspection and accreditation in the field of cellular therapy.
The Hematology Service of the University Hospital in Nuevo Leon, whose director is David Gómez Almaguer, MD, is the only laboratory in Latin America that has this accreditation.
What does FACT accreditation means for patients and their families?
As a patient, this accreditation can assure you that the healthcare organization you choose is committed to quality patient care.
This accreditation is the threshold for excellence in cellular therapy including bone marrow or cord blood transplant (BMT). FACT-accredited organizations voluntarily seek and maintain accreditation through a rigorous process, demonstrating their belief that patient needs are paramount.
Receiving care from a cellular therapy organization within the prestigious community of accredited organizations can make you confident that you are in good hands.
