We provide a wide range of medical laboratory services dealing directly not only with doctors and healthcare professionals but also with patients.
Our footprint stretches beyond the South African borders. We have operations in Lesotho and Namibia. Our laboratories in Kenya and Nigeria are the first internationally accredited medical laboratories in these countries.
In fact, we have an undisputed proud record of firsts in South Africa: we were the first to significantly raise the bar by introducing standards that have led to overall improvements in the industry, including the first radio-immunoassay laboratory in private practice; the first computerised laboratory in Southern hemisphere, the first robotic automated chemistry immunodiagnostics testing system, the first to introduce automated microbiology in Africa, the first to collect specimens from hospitals and doctors' rooms and the first to launch the iPad result app to improve quality and efficiency. Our laboratories were the first to achieve accreditation through the South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) and we are also the first pathology practice in South Africa to set-up a Student Training Academy.
We contribute to the advancement of patient healthcare and we are committed to delivering an accessible, affordable, high quality and reliable service efficiently and on time, every time. We remain relevant and industry leaders by constantly innovating and improving our service and staying attuned to the needs of our customers.
