diagnosis, to assess the severity
of disease and to evaluate efficiency
of medical treatment. Hence the patients
come to lab for scientific investigations
of clinical disorders.
The services include
hematological, biochemical & microbiological
investigations besides blood bank
services. The latter includes collection
of blood, testing for blood transfusion
safety, cross match and issue of blood/
blood components.
A physician orders
appropriate investigations after thorough
clinical examination of the patients.
Investigations pertaining to particular
system of the body involved are ordered.
The patients report to lab along with
this list of investigations &
collect the results same evening/

Pathologist supervises the lab work.
