FAQs
-
Our diagnostics use Swiss laboratory technology and EU-standard analysers, delivering ISO-certified precision. Tests such as hematology, biochemistry, immunology, and serology are carried out with CE-marked devices and cross-checked by qualified biomedical scientists. This means results are as reliable as those you would receive in London, Milan, or Zurich. Patients can expect both clinical accuracy and clear interpretation from our doctors.
-
Most tests, including blood counts, biochemistry, and ECGs, are available the same day – often within 30–90 minutes. More complex panels, such as microbiology cultures or tumour markers, may take 24–72 hours as they require incubation and specialist analysis. Patients leave with either same-day results or a detailed follow-up report within a set timeframe, never left waiting weeks like in many public systems.
