The laboratory is an essential part of the medical health services. Without the laboratory, the clinician or physician will not be able to diagnose properly; hence, laboratory tests should be performed accurately.

The laboratory is composed of the following sections:

  1. Clinical chemistry
  2. Serology, immunology and blood banking
  3. Microbiology or bacteriology
  4. Clinical microscopy
  5. Parasitology
  6. Hematology
  7. Histopathology

This site will focus on these sections.
