The Laboratory has been in existence since the establishment of the Hospital. In fact, the hospital’s first administrator was the eminent clinical pathologist, Dr Ernesto Medina-Cue.

Through the years, the Laboratory has metamorphosed from being a hospital unit with simple instrumentation to what it is now, a world-class facility with state-of-the-art equipment. What has remained constant is its particular attention to quality assurance, thus ensuring that laboratory results are accurate and precise. This character has served the laboratory in good stead in its involvement in the various concerns of the hospital-service, medical education, research and training.
