This is the unit of the hospital wherein all laboratory investigations are done. It is made up of trained laboratory scientist, laboratory technicians, and assistant laboratory technicians. It is sub divided in to 7 sections namely;
- The reception / specimen collection room
- The parasitology section
- The serology / blood bank section
- The biochemistry section
- The microbiology section
- The haematology section
- The treatment unit or day care laboratory
There are some laboratory investigations that are not done here at the moment. These include PAP smear and histopathology. We are hoping to in the near future because they are really needed. Sending patients to do this out of Njinikom is always very strainous and expensive. Many find it difficult to afford for and stay back without the necessary medical attention.
