Medical laboratory

Medical labs in Sri Lanka

With the latest technology and equipment available in the country, CDEM’s clinical laboratory guarantees highly accurate results, delivered promptly, with the utmost assurance of quality.

Our laboratory is geared to carrying out internationally-accepted test methods for a host of medical conditions, including those not related to diabetes.

Our daily quality control as well as the monthly external quality control ensures that our laboratory is on par with internationally-accepted standards. With each department having a group of consultants who double check and approve the relevant test results before they are given to the patients, we assure quality and accuracy.

Value and professionalism are at the core of our team’s objectives, with staff training workshops being conducted every six months and periodic quality assurance checkups being carried out.

Speedy results

Our highly experienced team of doctors and lab technicians are also dedicated to delivering test results fast, and are capable of delivering test results, including a number of special endocrine tests, within 2-3 hours. This allows patients to give blood for testing, get accurate results in just a few hours and consult a doctor that same day.

Our patients’ time matters to us; so to ensure that you do not have to spend hours waiting for results, our prompt SMS system will alert our patients as their test results are ready. Patients can also request to receive these alerts via email.
