Laboratory Medicine Overview

We strive to stay true to our Vision ….

“To provide the best diagnostic services to all we serve. Laboratory medicine works to diagnose disease, evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and to research the causes and cures of disease.

The Department of Laboratory Medicine is a comprehensive unit comprising of seven different specialities, functioning seamlessly to deliver prompt and accurate diagnosis to all patients. Our strengths lie in the fact that we are the trend setters for specialisation in various diagnostic specialities. We were the first hospital to start Oncopathology as a specialized division in the state, and we are the first Renal Lab with Immunoflourescence and Electron Microscopy in the Coimbatore city.

As part of their training approval we have comprehensive training programmes for all grades of staff to ensure that they have all the required knowledge and skills to perform their duties to the highest level. This includes the provision of expert clinical advice to our users and interpretive comments on reports.
