About Clinical Pathology Labs departmentClinical Pathology Labs
The Department of Pathology is the integral bridge between clinical care and basic science at INMOL cancer Hospital. It plays an essential role in the institution's mission to improve patient care and management. The mission of the department is to provide high-quality laboratory services for the diagnosis, management, and prognostic evaluation of patients. The division comprises six lab disciplines involved in different investigations. The Laboratory is certified for ISO 9001-2015 and regularly participates in EQAS International Quality Assessment Scheme. The department is also involved in interdisciplinary basic and clinical research.
The Clinical Lab offers • Quick Turnaround time of tests. • STAT (special turnaround time) test result reporting of urgent cases (e.g. Emergency and critical patients of wards). • Immediate reporting of critical values to the consulting doctors or patient. • Interaction with the treating physician
Phlebotomy services are dedicated to the collection of specimens for INMOL patients. This section provides services to the inpatients of INMOL Hospital, outpatients from other hospitals and INMOL employees. Services include blood collection; provision of containers for urine, sputum, sample sorting and distribution of blood samples to other sections and delivery of reports. Approximately 35,000 collection-related procedures are performed each year.
Haematology lab is integral part of services extended by Pathology labs to patients. The lab is equipped with 16 parameter automated 6 part haematology analyzers (2Nos) that provide hourly CBC reports to patients coming for their chemotherapy. The haematology lab performs about 30,000 CBC tests annually
- Blood CP with Platelets count and ESR
The Clinical Chemistry laboratory provides routine and state of the art specialized assays for patient care. Most tests that are required urgently are performed, continuously, with short turn round time, on automated, high volume rapid analyzers for nearly 20 different clinically important parameters. These include, but are not limited to glucose, BUN, electrolytes, Ca, P, liver function tests, renal function tests, glucose and protein. Other special parameters include Lipid profile, HbA1c, Iron profile. Clinical Chemistry laboratories generate over 127000 test results a year which accounts for about 80 percent of the testing volume of the department

With recent advances in diagnostic pathology, most of the new diagnostic assays are now utilizing DNA based tests for treatment of patients. At INMOL, keeping pace with advances in diagnostic pathology, DNA based / molecular lab was established to provide advanced diagnostic services to the patients. The Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory is responsible for the development and performance of molecular diagnostic tests for nucleic acid targets found in a variety of settings in medicine. The three broad areas of testing are a) genetics b) hematopathology c) infectious disease
