PathCare is a network of pathology laboratories that provide testing of patients’ blood (or other specimens), primarily for medical diagnostic purposes.
We have pathology expertise in a wide variety of areas, including infectious diseases, anatomical pathology, forensic pathology, haematology, endocrinology, chemical pathology and veterinary pathology. We are also able to provide environmental testing, genetic and molecular testing, industrial and occupational health testing, clinical trials laboratory support and testing for life insurance purposes.
PathCare has been innovative over the years, being the first to introduce many of the service related improvements presently in the industry, including the first to provide venesection, the first to collect specimens from hospitals and doctors rooms, first to achieve SANAS accreditation to ISO 17025 and ISO 15189 standards, the first radio-immunoassay laboratory in private practice, the first computerised laboratory in Southern Hemisphere, the first robotic automated chemistry immunodiagnostics testing system, the first Liquid Based Cytology (LBC) accredited laboratory in South Africa, the first laboratory to do automated microbiology testing in Africa and the first laboratory with a training academy (over 120 students).
