Same-day results
Laboratory Diagnostics
A full-service laboratory delivering haematology, biochemistry, microbiology and rapid point-of-care testing.
Overview
What this service means for you
Accurate diagnosis drives every good treatment decision. Our laboratory runs a full menu of tests — blood counts, blood sugars and HbA1c, liver and kidney profiles, malaria and TB testing, urinalysis, pregnancy tests, cultures and more — with strict internal quality control on every batch.
Most routine results are ready the same day, and results flow directly to your clinician so treatment can begin without delay. For specialised send-out tests, we coordinate sample referral and keep you updated on timelines.
