A state-of-the-art stat laboratory has been launched by the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) in Rawalpindi to better service the phlebotomy test needs of the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad as well as surrounding areas of northern Punjab, says a press release.
The laboratory will decrease test turnaround time, which from the patient’s perspective, reduces the waiting time for results and from the doctor’s permits physicians to make medical decisions in real time.
The Rawalpindi laboratory joins AKUH’s countrywide laboratory system, that includes a main laboratory with 12 stat labs and 192 specimen collection units throughout Pakistan. This lab will also perform procedures like fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies and Pap smear tests.
