Biochemistry Lab
Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory
The Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory was established in July, 2004. Emergency services were started in May 2007. It is a well-equipped, computerised, fully air conditioned laboratory providing round the clock patient care services.
The laboratory has got 13 paramedical staff to provide routine as well as round the clock emergency services in the hospital.
It is connected to Hospital Information System for electronic reporting of results to the patient care terminus.
Laboratory Internal Quality (IQ) is maintained with BioRad Quality Control Sample periodically. Externally laboratory quality is assessed by External Quality Assessment Scheme (EQAS) conducted by CMC, Vellore.
