What is Pathology?
Pathology is a branch of medicine involving the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of surgically removed organs, tissues (biopsy samples), bodily fluids, and in some cases the whole body (autopsy). By having a closer look in a lab and using the latest in medical technology, our pathology experts could help you find some answers or bring you a step closer to recovery.
With the help of advanced laboratory equipment, trained laboratory staff and consultant pathologists, the laboratory facilitates the diagnoses of diseases which contribute to a better recovery process.
