PathCare is one of Southern Africa’s leading providers of pathology and diagnostic laboratory services, delivering accurate, reliable results to healthcare practitioners and patients. Our laboratories operate around the clock to ensure the timely processing of specimens and the swift delivery of pathology test results.

Pathology Test Turnaround Times

The turnaround time (TAT) for pathology tests depends on the specific test being performed. Expected turnaround times for tests analysed within PathCare are available on request by contacting the analysing PathCare laboratory.

While we strive to deliver results as quickly as possible, turnaround times may be affected by factors such as:

• The operating hours of the analysing laboratory
• Specimen transport times
• Instrument maintenance or unexpected equipment breakdowns
• Reagent or test kit availability
• The need for additional or confirmatory testing
