RA 4688 corresponds to which act?

• A. Clinical Laboratory Act of 1966
• B. National Blood Services Act of 1994
• C. PRC Modernization Act of 2000
• D. Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002

Answer: (A)

The question tests knowledge of which Philippine law governs clinical laboratories. Republic Act 4688 is the Clinical Laboratory Act of 1966. It establishes the regulatory framework for clinical laboratories, including licensure and registration of laboratories, qualifications and supervision of laboratory personnel, and quality assurance requirements to ensure accurate and reliable diagnostic testing. Understanding this helps distinguish it from the other acts: the National Blood Services Act deals with blood banks and blood services, the PRC Modernization Act updates the regulatory commission's operations, and the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act addresses controls on illicit and prescription drugs.
