Venkateshwar Hospital has a state-of-the-art laboratory with highest end machines which
provide precise and prompt results for all routine and special blood tests. The wide
spectrum of diseases that this department deals which covers varioyus diseases ranging from
common allergies to rare cancers. Complete diagnostic support for oncology services is
provided with tumour markers and immunoassays. Fully automated histopathology lab which can
process frozen sections (provide intraoperative tissue diagnosis) and sophisticated
immunohistochemistry for exact tissue typing, is handled with expert care under a
well-trained team. Gene expert machine for diagnosing drug resistant tuberculosis and doing
molecular testing for cervical cancers, chronic leukemia and viral loads for HIV is present
in the microbiology section which also has a fully automated blood culture and
identification with antibiotic sensitivity machines for various microbes.The Haematology
and biochemistry machine are run with stringent controls and accurate results are available
in stipulated time frame. The lab motto of five Ps -Perfect, Precise, Prompt Patient care
with Politeness is actually palpable here.
