Pathological Services
Pathology is a medical specialty that focuses on determining the cause and nature of diseases. By examining and testing body tissues (e.g. biopsies, pap smears) and fluids (e.g. blood, urine) pathology helps doctors diagnose and treat patients correctly.
Pathology services provide diagnostic and consultative services to medical specialists and general practitioners and their patients in hospitals and in the community. They do this through the scientific analysis of specimens of blood, fluids, tissue and other samples; interpretation and reporting of clinically meaningful results; and provision of expert medical opinion through consultation.
Pathology services lie at the heart of health care services provided at Kariden Specialist Hospital to our patients. They underpin the quality and cost-effectiveness of health care.
