Philosophy and Purpose
The laboratory’s primary objective is to serve the patients. This objective takes precedence over all other considerations. The needs of the pediatric patient differ significantly from those of the adult patient, necessitating a specialized approach to providing clinical laboratory testing for infants and children. Therefore, the goal of these departments is to deliver quality laboratory services to infants and children as quickly as possible by competent medical technologists, technicians, and phlebotomists under medical supervision.
Operation And Organizational Structure
The laboratories consist of the Department of Pathology, Department of Medical Genetics, and the Clinical Laboratories which includes Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Microbiology, Virology, Transfusion Services, and Phlebotomy.
