Shaukat Khanum operates a nationwide network of laboratory collection centres under established guidelines and standard operating procedures. The organization states that laboratory results are stored within its Hospital Information System and can be accessed online.

Gulberg Laboratory Collection Network

There are multiple Shaukat Khanum laboratory collection locations in and around Gulberg Lahore. Current listings include a collection centre at 19-E, Zohra Heights, Main Market, Gulberg II, as well as another at 82-A, Naseerabad, Main Lahore–Kasur Road, Gulberg III.

Because more than one collection centre serves the Gulberg area, patients should confirm the exact branch before visiting.

Clinical Laboratory Services

Shaukat Khanum's laboratory network provides access to a comprehensive range of pathology investigations. The organization's Pathology Laboratory includes Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Pathology, along with Blood Bank services. More than four million tests and procedures are performed annually across its pathology services.

A collection centre primarily functions as a patient sample collection point. Depending on the investigation, collected specimens may be transported to an appropriate Shaukat Khanum laboratory for processing.

Quality-Focused Testing

Shaukat Khanum states that its Pathology Laboratory uses modern laboratory equipment and follows quality-focused procedures. The Lahore Pathology Laboratory received College of American Pathologists (CAP) accreditation in October 2024, according to the hospital's official laboratory information.

This accreditation applies to the Lahore Pathology Laboratory and should not automatically be interpreted as separate accreditation of every individual collection centre.

Patient Sample Collection

The Gulberg collection centres can facilitate the collection of patient specimens required for laboratory investigations. Depending on the prescribed test, samples may include blood, urine, stool, tissue and other appropriate specimens.

Shaukat Khanum's Diagnostic Centre Liberty in Gulberg specifically states that its pathology service provides sample collection for blood, urine, stool and tissue specimens, with samples collected according to standard operating procedures.

Online Laboratory Reports

Shaukat Khanum provides online access to laboratory reports. Its laboratory system stores patient test results within the Hospital Information System, allowing reports to be accessed electronically.

The Shaukat Khanum Lab service also provides access to previous test results through its mobile application.

Home Sample Collection

Shaukat Khanum offers home sample collection as an additional patient service. Patients can request home collection by calling 03 111 756 000, and the service can also be booked through the Shaukat Khanum application.

Diagnostic Support

Laboratory investigations help healthcare professionals evaluate symptoms, screen for health conditions, monitor treatment and follow patients with existing diseases.

The Shaukat Khanum laboratory network provides both routine and specialized pathology investigations through its central and collection-centre system.

Gulberg Accessibility

The Gulberg area is one of Lahore's major commercial and healthcare locations. Shaukat Khanum's laboratory collection centres provide local access to its diagnostic testing network for residents, employees, patients and healthcare providers in the surrounding areas.

Shaukat Khanum Diagnostic Centre Liberty

The wider Gulberg area also includes the Shaukat Khanum Diagnostic Centre Liberty, located at 2-E 1, Main Boulevard, UCH-Liberty, Gulberg III, Lahore. This is a diagnostic centre rather than simply a collection point and provides pathology and other diagnostic services.

Patient Convenience

The laboratory collection network allows patients to access Shaukat Khanum's diagnostic services without necessarily travelling to the main hospital pathology laboratory. The network currently includes more than 180 laboratory collection centres across Pakistan.

Important Information

The exact services, timings, contact number and test collection arrangements can vary between Gulberg branches. Patients should confirm the selected branch and test requirements before visiting.

For a medical directory, this facility can be categorized as a Clinical Laboratory / Laboratory Collection Centre / Diagnostic Laboratory associated with Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centres.

Clinical Laboratory Testing

Shaukat Khanum Laboratory Collection Centres provide access to a broad range of clinical laboratory investigations. The collection centres receive patient specimens and connect them with the Shaukat Khanum Pathology Laboratory network for appropriate testing.

The official Shaukat Khanum laboratory information describes its pathology service as covering both Clinical Pathology and Anatomic Pathology, with a comprehensive test menu.

Hematology Testing

Hematology investigations evaluate blood cells and related components. These tests can help physicians assess anemia, infections, inflammatory conditions and other blood-related abnormalities.

Routine and specialized hematology investigations are part of comprehensive clinical laboratory services.

Clinical Chemistry

Clinical chemistry involves the analysis of biochemical substances in blood and other specimens. These investigations can help assess metabolic health and the function of organs such as the liver and kidneys.

Clinical chemistry services may include glucose, cholesterol, electrolytes, liver-related and kidney-related investigations.

Diabetes Testing

Blood glucose and other diabetes-related laboratory investigations can support diabetes screening, diagnosis and monitoring.

The appropriate test depends on the patient's medical condition and physician's recommendation. Some tests may require fasting or specific preparation.

Liver Function Testing

Liver-related investigations are used to assess biochemical markers associated with liver health. Doctors may request these tests for suspected liver disease or for monitoring patients with an existing liver condition.

Kidney Function Testing

Kidney function investigations provide information about renal health and may be used for diagnosis and ongoing monitoring.

Common renal investigations can include biochemical measurements such as creatinine and urea, depending on the prescribed test.

Lipid Testing

Lipid investigations measure blood fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides. These tests can be used for cardiovascular risk assessment and general health screening.

Microbiology

Microbiology is an important part of clinical pathology and supports the investigation of infectious diseases. Depending on the specimen and suspected infection, microbiological testing may involve appropriate laboratory methods for identifying infectious organisms.

Culture and Sensitivity

Culture-based investigations may be used to identify microorganisms in suitable clinical specimens. Where appropriate, susceptibility testing can help healthcare professionals understand which antimicrobial medicines may be effective against a particular organism.

Histopathology

Histopathology involves the microscopic examination of tissue specimens and is an important component of anatomic pathology.

Shaukat Khanum's pathology services include Anatomic Pathology, providing access to tissue-based diagnostic investigations through its laboratory network.

Cytology

Cytology involves the examination of individual cells or cellular material. It can be used as part of diagnostic evaluation and screening for certain conditions.

Samples requiring specialized cytological examination may be collected at an appropriate collection centre and processed within the Shaukat Khanum pathology network.

Molecular and Specialized Testing

Shaukat Khanum's laboratory network includes specialized diagnostic investigations in addition to routine pathology testing. Advanced tests may require specialized equipment and processing at designated laboratory facilities.

Not every specialized test is necessarily performed at the Gulberg collection centre itself.

Blood Bank Services

Blood Bank services are included within Shaukat Khanum's Pathology Laboratory structure. The organization's official pathology information identifies the Blood Bank as part of its laboratory services.

Patients should distinguish between a laboratory collection centre and a full blood bank facility because blood bank services may be provided at designated Shaukat Khanum facilities.

Blood Sample Collection

Blood sample collection is one of the core services available through laboratory collection centres. Samples are collected according to established procedures and then handled for the required laboratory investigation.

Urine Sample Collection

Urine specimens can also be collected for appropriate laboratory investigations. The Shaukat Khanum Diagnostic Centre Liberty specifically lists urine among the specimen types collected for pathology testing.

Stool Sample Collection

Stool specimens can be collected for suitable laboratory investigations. Patients should follow the laboratory's instructions regarding specimen containers, collection methods and delivery requirements.

Tissue Sample Collection

The Gulberg Shaukat Khanum diagnostic service also supports collection of tissue specimens for laboratory testing. Tissue samples require appropriate handling and processing because they may be used for histopathological examination.

Health Screening

Shaukat Khanum offers discounted and health screening test packages through its laboratory service. These packages can cover different areas of routine health assessment.

The exact packages, tests and prices can change, so patients should check the current official laboratory menu before booking.

Home Sample Collection

Home sample collection is available through Shaukat Khanum Lab. Patients can request the service by calling 03 111 756 000 or using the Shaukat Khanum mobile application. The hospital states that its home sample collection service has no service charge.

Online Test Reports

Patients can access their laboratory reports online through Shaukat Khanum's laboratory services. The hospital also provides previous test-result access through its mobile application.

Sample Tracking

The Shaukat Khanum application provides real-time tracking for home sample collection, including tracking of the phlebotomist or rider and sample status.

Specialized Laboratory Investigations

The wider Shaukat Khanum pathology network performs a large number of specialized investigations. More than four million tests and procedures are performed annually through the pathology services.

For specialized investigations, the Gulberg collection centre may collect the specimen while testing is completed at another designated Shaukat Khanum laboratory.

Important Information About Test Availability

The complete Shaukat Khanum pathology test menu is much larger than the services physically performed at an individual collection centre. Therefore, tests should not automatically be described as being performed at the Gulberg branch simply because they are included in the Shaukat Khanum network.

For DoctorPakistan, suitable service categories include Clinical Pathology, Hematology, Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology, Histopathology, Cytology, Specialized Laboratory Testing, Blood Sample Collection, Urine Sample Collection, Stool Sample Collection, Tissue Sample Collection, Health Screening, Home Sample Collection and Online Laboratory Reports.
