Get Your DOH Lab License Fast and Hassle-Free

Operating a General Clinical Laboratory in the Philippines requires strict compliance with Department of Health (DOH) regulations. Obtaining a License to Operate (LTO) is mandatory to ensure your laboratory meets quality, safety, and legal standards.

At Loft Spaces, we help businesses in Metro Manila and Cebu navigate the DOH licensing process efficiently, saving you time and ensuring full compliance.

Why You Need a DOH LTO for Your Clinical Laboratory

Why You Need a DOH LTO for Your Clinical Laboratory

A DOH License to Operate is essential because:

  • It legally authorizes your laboratory to operate in the Philippines.
  • Ensures compliance with Philippine clinical laboratory standards.
  • Protects patients by guaranteeing that tests are safe, accurate, and reliable.
  • Minimizes the risk of fines, closure, or legal penalties from regulatory authorities.

Without a valid LTO, your laboratory could face operational delays or shutdowns, affecting your reputation and revenue.
