The Laboratory Services at Holy Family Hospital are a cornerstone of our diagnostic capabilities, providing a comprehensive range of medical tests to support patient care. Established in 1961, the laboratory has grown to become one of Delhi’s leading facilities, offering precise, timely, and reliable diagnostic services. We provide continuous 24/7 testing services, ensuring that patients receive accurate test results round the clock. Our laboratory is accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) and adheres to ISO 15189:2012 standard, reflecting our commitment to high quality care and rigorous diagnostic accuracy.

We provide an extensive range of diagnostic services across various medical disciplines to ensure accurate and timely results for optimal patient care, including

• Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing: Offering a wide array of tests across disciplines such as Clinical Biochemistry and Immunoassays, Hematopathology and Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Disease Serology,
• Diagnostics in Cancer: Providing advanced Histopathology Services including IHC and also provision for intraoperative frozen sections for rapid diagnostic decisions , Cytopathology, Hematopathology and Tumor Markers in Blood.
• Infectious Disease Testing: Utilizing automated systems for the rapid and accurate identification of pathogens, along with antibiotic sensitivity tests and viral infection detection.
• Blood Centre Services: Providing 24/7 safe blood and blood components (PRBC, Whole Blood, FFP, Platelet Concentrate, Platelet pheresis and Plasmapheresis.)
• Endocrine and Reproductive Health: Offering hormone analysis for conditions like thyroid disorders, infertility, antenatal screening for fetal abnormalities.
• Diabetes Monitoring: Utilizing advanced HbA1c testing for the management and diagnosis of diabetes.

Our laboratory offers specialized procedures and therapies designed to deliver precise diagnoses and support effective treatment plans.

• Histopathology Procedures: We offer tissue analysis, including biopsy examinations, and intraoperative frozen sections for rapid diagnostic support during surgeries.
• Microbiology Procedures: Rapid detection of infectious diseases, including tuberculosis and drug resistance testing, through advanced molecular diagnostic tools like GeneXpert.
