Laboratory services
Accurate laboratory testing gives doctors clear results for timely diagnosis and safe treatment.
Having the laboratory in the same building changes what a visit feels like. Instead of being sent across town for a test and returning days later, most families get results while they are still here — so treatment can start the same day.
Having the laboratory on site means results come back quickly and treatment can start sooner. Samples are taken by staff used to working with children, and we keep the process as short and calm as we can.

What to expect
How a visit works
Four steps, start to finish — so you know what is coming before you arrive.
- 01
Request from the clinician
Your child's doctor explains which test is needed and why.
- 02
Sample taken
Taken by staff used to working with children. We keep it short, explain what will happen, and let a parent hold the child.
- 03
Processing
Samples are run on site. Many common tests are ready within the hour.
- 04
Results with your clinician
Results go straight back to the doctor, who talks them through with you rather than handing over a sheet of numbers.
Questions
Common questions
How long do results take?
Many common tests — malaria, typhoid, basic blood counts — come back during the same visit. Your clinician will tell you what to expect.
Does my child need to fast?
Only for certain tests. If fasting is needed we will tell you clearly when you book.
Can I bring a test from another clinic?
Yes, bring any previous results. They help us avoid repeating tests unnecessarily.
We would love to welcome your child
