Pathology

At SNHRC hospitals, the department of Pathology offers timely and accurate histopathology, cytopathology and haematopathology services to various clinical specialties. Annually we receive a large number of histopathology, cytology and haematology specimens. Our lab is well equipped with automated machines to help in ultimately providing a good quality report.
