About us
Medical-diagnostic laboratory Bodimed – the first private laboratory specialized in diagnostics of hormones was founded in 1991. Over the years, we have established ourselves as a laboratory trusted by both doctors and patients. With a team of nearly 200 highly trained professionals, we are able to satisfy the needs of our patients by providing excellent service.
In 1999 Bodimed was the first laboratory in Bulgaria to start joint activities with Labor Limbach – Germany. This gave our patients the opportunity to do rare tests that were not available in the country.
Since 2007, we have become part of a joint venture with the Laboratory of Dr. Limbach. Bodimed is the first and only laboratory in the country that has accomplished the requirements of the highest international laboratory standard ISO 15189 and is the only laboratory to ever be accredited by the German accreditation service DakkS.
Bodimed has extensive experience in international projects, congresses and clinical trials. From these we get ideas and experience for continuous development and optimization. We are recognized throughout the country. Our results are also valid abroad
