About This Service

The SECH Laboratory runs the tests your doctor relies on, across six sections: haematology, microbiology, biochemistry, transfusion services, molecular biology and immunology, with endocrinology on a compact analyser. Our medical laboratory scientists report every result back to your doctor.
