About Department

Different sections of
disciplines of Laboratory
Medicine namely :

i)Pathology, ii) Medical Microbiology,  iii) Medical Biochemistry

iv) Transfusion Medicine v) Immunology and Infectious disease Serology vi) Molecular diagnostics are present in the department.

Objectives of the Department:

All sections interact effectively with allied departments by rendering services in basic and in advanced laboratory investigations.  Demonstrate application of laboratory medicine techniques in a variety of clinical settings to solve diagnostic and therapeutic problems.  Interact with clinical colleagues during ward round,   for other investigations, if necessary, and help in comprehensive decision making in patient’s management and follow up. Ensure routine conduct of External Quality Assurance Program & Internal Quality Control Programs and take corrective steps, when needed.
