RARITAN, N.J., Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (Ortho), a global leader of in vitro diagnostics, has been honored with a Services Excellence Award from the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM).

"ASSOCHAM has now validated what our customers in India have always told us, that our customer service and support teams are the very best," said Anand Pande, head of Ortho's Asia-Pacific region. "Hospitals and blood banks in India count on Ortho's products to deliver what are often life-saving diagnostic results.  Our Ortho Care™ Support program helps those customers maximize the value our products deliver, every day."

The award is the latest honor recognizing Ortho's reputation for premium customer service and support.  Earlier this year, Ortho was awarded the Gold Stevie Award for Global Customer Service for the Ortho Care program.  In the U.S., Ortho Care was ranked the No. 1 original equipment manufacturer for overall service performance in the chemistry and immunoassay market segments by the IMV, Ltd., ServiceTrak™ survey of professionals from more than 1,250 hospitals.  Ortho has achieved this No. 1 ranking for the past two years.

"Ortho has a longstanding commitment to helping hospitals around the world keep pace with the rapidly evolving health care industry," said Alex Socarrás, Ortho's executive vice president of commercial operations.  "With its predictive maintenance and e-Connectivity™ monitoring capabilities, Ortho Care empowers clinical lab professionals to focus on their core diagnostic work, rather than on system maintenance or operations."

The Ortho Care Program is a holistic support program that provides customers with traditional, on-site expert support and consulting as well as predictive, connected technologies.  Ortho Care enables clinical laboratories to take full advantage of Ortho's solutions to deliver fast and accurate diagnoses for patients. Ortho Care's best-in-class services and offerings for customers include:
