City Medical Laboratory (Tehkal Collection Point)

City Medical Laboratory (Tehkal Collection Point) is a medical laboratory collection facility located at the BRT Station opposite Afridi Medical Center in Tehkal, Peshawar. The collection point provides convenient access to laboratory sample collection services for patients living in Tehkal and surrounding areas.

Laboratory investigations are an important part of modern healthcare and are commonly requested by doctors for screening, diagnosis, treatment monitoring and routine health assessment. Blood, urine and other biological specimens can provide valuable information about a patient's health and help healthcare professionals make informed clinical decisions.

The Tehkal Collection Point is conveniently situated along the AH1/BRT corridor, making it accessible for patients travelling through Tehkal and nearby parts of Peshawar. Its location opposite Afridi Medical Center also places it within an established healthcare area where patients may already be visiting doctors and medical facilities.

As a collection point, the primary role of the facility is to receive and collect patient specimens for laboratory investigations. Depending on the particular test, samples may be transported to a main City Medical Laboratory facility for processing and analysis. Patients requiring a specialized investigation should therefore confirm where the test will be performed and the expected reporting time.

Common laboratory investigations can cover areas such as hematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, serology, immunology, urine examination and other pathology-related testing. The availability of a particular investigation may vary between collection points and central laboratories.

Blood sample collection is one of the most common laboratory services. Blood specimens may be used for investigations related to blood cells, hemoglobin, glucose, kidney function, liver function, cholesterol, hormones and other health parameters. Doctors may request these tests as part of routine checkups or when investigating specific symptoms.

Urine, stool and other biological specimens may also be collected when required. Proper specimen identification, collection, storage and transportation are important because the quality of a laboratory result depends partly on the quality and handling of the sample.

Some laboratory investigations require patients to follow specific preparation instructions. For example, certain blood tests may require fasting, while other investigations may require a specific type or timing of specimen collection. Patients should follow the instructions provided by their doctor or laboratory staff.

Laboratory reports should be interpreted in the context of the patient's symptoms, medical history and clinical examination. A laboratory result can provide important diagnostic information, but it should not be considered a complete diagnosis without appropriate clinical interpretation.

City Medical Laboratory operates multiple collection points across Peshawar, including locations in Tehkal, University Town, Hayatabad, Dabgari Gardens and other areas. The Tehkal Collection Point provides an additional convenient option for patients who need to submit samples or access laboratory-related services in this part of the city.

For specialized, uncommon or urgent investigations, patients are advised to contact the collection point before visiting. This can help confirm test availability, preparation requirements, charges, sample requirements and expected report delivery time.

Overall, City Medical Laboratory (Tehkal Collection Point) provides a convenient local sample collection facility for patients in Tehkal and nearby areas of Peshawar. It supports access to laboratory diagnostic services while connecting patients with the wider City Medical Laboratory network.
