In the Pathology Department, specially trained staff, using the most advanced equipment, perform a wide variety of tests for both inpatients and outpatients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The analysis of blood, urine, and body fluids is conducted in the Hematology and Biochemistry laboratories, while the search for microbial and parasitic organisms is performed in the Microbiology laboratories. Surgical Pathology provides the diagnosis of surgically removed tissues; Cyto-pathology diagnoses cells obtained from nonsurgical procedures such as Pap smears and fine-needle aspiration biopsies of tumours of the neck and breast. Immuno-histo chemistry, Flow Cytometry, and Molecular Pathology are used routinely in the diagnosis of specific cancers and leukemias.
