The Department evolved from the laboratory department of the Hospital in 2018. The department is one of the laboratory medicine departments in the hospital which provides non-imaging diagnostic services. This is done through biochemical analysis of blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, stool and other tissue fluids. Physicians in the department also provide direct patient care for metabolism-related diseases.
