Many laboratory tests are performed following a prescription from a physician. Your doctor will indicate the tests required for diagnosis, monitoring or preventive care.

Some preventive screening services may be available without a prescription depending on the service and location. Please check the specific service information or contact your nearest centre before your visit.

Some laboratory tests require fasting before the sample is taken. Fasting usually means avoiding food and drinks other than water for a specific number of hours before the test.

Preparation requirements depend on the type of analysis. Always follow the instructions provided by your physician or appointment confirmation.

Some patient centres may accept walk-in visits. However, booking an appointment in advance is recommended to reduce waiting times and ensure availability.

Availability may vary by location and service, so please check the centre information before your visit

The time required to process laboratory analyses depends on the type of test performed. Routine analyses may be completed faster, while specialised tests may require additional processing time.

Your physician will receive the results and discuss them with you when appropriate.

Test results are generally made available through the appropriate reporting channel, depending on the test and prescription.

In many cases, results are shared directly with the prescribing physician. Additional access options may be available through secure digital platforms such as MyUnilabs, where available.
