What happens at the visit

Here it is, step by step.

  1. The doctor asks for the test

    This happens in your room, while the doctor is with you.

  2. You give the sample

    We take a drop of blood from your fingertip.

  3. Our lab does the test

    It is done here, in the same building.

  4. 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 or your child has a fever, chills, a headache or body aches. When you feel weak and do not feel like eating. It is better to test a fever than to guess.

If you have a question about a result after you get home, send us a message.
