Common Questions

Laboratory & Diagnostics: your questions answered

How quickly will I get my lab results?
Most routine results are ready during the same visit and go straight to your clinician, so treatment can usually begin the same day. Some specialised tests take longer — the lab will tell you when to expect them.
Do I need to fast before a blood test?
Only for some tests. A fasting blood sugar test needs at least 8 hours without food (plain water is fine). Most people no longer need to fast for a cholesterol (lipid) test, though your doctor may ask you to in some cases. Your clinician or our lab team will tell you if fasting is needed and for how long.
Is the laboratory open at night?
Yes. The laboratory supports our 24-hour casualty and wards, so tests can be done at any hour.
Can I do a pre-employment medical here?
Yes. Bring your national ID and any forms your employer has given you.
