SELECT HOSPITAL has a state-of-the-art laboratory with highest end machines which provide precise and prompt results for all routine and special blood tests. The wide spectrum of diseases that this department deals which covers varioyus diseases ranging from common allergies to rare cancers. Complete diagnostic support for oncology services is provided with tumour markers and immunoassays. Fully automated histopathology lab which can process frozen sections (provide intraoperative tissue diagnosis) and sophisticated immunohistochemistry for exact tissue typing, is handled with expert care under a well-trained team. Gene expert machine for diagnosing drug resistant tuberculosis and doing molecular testing for cervical cancers, chronic leukemia and viral loads for HIV is present in the microbiology section which also has a fully automated blood culture and identification with antibiotic sensitivity machines for various microbes. The Haematology and biochemistry machine are run with stringent controls and accurate results are available in stipulated time frame. The lab motto of five Ps -Perfect, Precise, Prompt Patient care with Politeness is actually palpable here.
