Laboratory
Our in-house Consultant Radiologists, Medical Sonologists, Medical Radiographers, Cardiologists are experts in medical imaging/radiology. They use their expertise coupled with cutting-edge technologies to produce accurate and more realistic images for medical diagnosis.
Our clinical chemistry department helps in the assays of various body parts ranging from the liver to the kidney, blood, and more using a fully automated A-class range of body fluid analysis techniques. Some tests we carry out in this department include;
Liver Function Test (LFT), Renal Function Test (RFT), Blood glucose level test (Both fasting and random), Lipid Profile Test, Creatine Kinase MB (CK-MB), Amylase, Drug screening test, C-Reactive Protein, Phosphate, Rheumatoid factor, Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), Serum Electrolytes – Sodium(Na) potassium (K), Chloride (Cl), bicarbonate, Glycated Haemoglobin (HBA1C) etc.
- Serology
Serological tests are helpful in the diagnosis of certain bacteria, parasitic and viral diseases. Tests under this include;
Retroviral screening (HIV Infection), Venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) test for syphilis, Chlamydia detection, Hepatitis A, B and C screening, Serum/blood Tuberculosis,
Herpes Simplex Virus I & II, Serum H. Pylori test, etc.
- Immunology and Endocrinology

- Haematology
We have a fully automated 6-part haematology analyser, giving you the advantage of a reticulocyte count in all Full Blood Count (FBC) analyses. Some other tests we carry out include;
Clotting profile, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Blood group and genotype, Peripheral blood film analysis
Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), etc. We also do microbiology tests as well as pap smear which is a histopathology test.
-
Is Ultrasound scan safe?Yes. Ultrasound scan is safe. It does not use ionizing radiation.
-
Is Ultrasound scan painful?Generally, ultrasound scan is a painless examination; occasionally and depending on the type of scan done, patients may feel some slight discomfort. This is usually due to posture during the procedure or the morbidity/disease process.
-
Can children do an Ultrasound scan?Yes. Children can undergo Ultrasound scans. Anybody can undergo an ultrasound scan.
-
Does an Ultrasound scan use radiation?No. Ultrasound scan makes use of sound waves. These sound waves are at a frequency that is not audible to the human ears.
-
Is an Ultrasound scan expensive?Ultrasound scans are very cheap and affordable.
-
Is Ultrasound scan invasive?No. Ultrasound scan is not invasive. It involves smearing a neutral, odourless ultrasound gel on the part of the body to be scanned using a probe or transducer.
