What happens at the visit
Here it is, step by step.
The doctor asks for the test
This happens in your room, while the doctor is with you.
You give the sample
We take a little blood from a vein in your arm.
Our lab does the test
It is done here, in the same building.
You get the result the same day
The doctor goes through it with you and explains what it means. If you need medicines, you get them from our dispensary before you leave. You go home with a printed note of your visit.
Before you come
You can eat before this test. Eat and drink as normal.
When you feel tired or weak, look pale, or bruise easily. When a fever keeps coming back. When the doctor wants a picture of your general health. It is also one of the usual tests in pregnancy.
If you have a question about a result after you get home, send us a message.
