FAQs on Diagnostics & Sample Collection

Do I need a doctor’s referral?
For specific laboratory tests (like blood chemistry), a referral is usually required. For point-of-care tests like blood sugar or pregnancy tests, you can request them directly.
-
How long do results take?
Most blood results are available within 24–48 hours. Point-of-care tests (like urinalysis) are immediate.
-
Is it painful?
Our nurses are experts in phlebotomy. We use the smallest needles possible and techniques designed to minimize discomfort.
-
Do I need to fast?
Some tests (like cholesterol or glucose) require you not to eat for 8–12 hours. We will confirm this with you when you book.
-
What happens to the samples?
They are placed in biohazard-safe, temperature-controlled containers and taken immediately to an accredited clinical lab.
-
Can you do an ECG at my home?
Yes. We use portable, medical-grade ECG machines that provide high-resolution readings of your heart's activity.
