About Health Ways Laboratories
Diagnostic Laboratory Facility
Health Ways Laboratories is a private clinical diagnostic laboratory network serving patients in Pakistan, with an Abbottabad branch located at CSD Shopping Complex near Supply Bazar. The laboratory network was established in 1989 with the aim of providing a broad range of diagnostic laboratory services for patient care. Its published laboratory departments cover clinical pathology, chemical pathology, hematology, microbiology, special chemistry, histopathology and PCR testing.
Location and Accessibility
The Abbottabad branch is listed at CSD Complex, Supply, Abbottabad, with public directories also describing the location as CSD Shopping Complex near Supply Bazar. The branch provides access to laboratory testing for residents of Abbottabad and surrounding areas.
Clinical Pathology Services
Clinical pathology covers laboratory examination of patient specimens such as blood, urine and other biological samples. These investigations can provide important laboratory information that healthcare professionals use alongside clinical history and examination.
Hematology Services
The hematology department focuses on blood cells and related laboratory parameters. The published laboratory scope includes hematology investigations such as ESR and complete blood cell parameters including WBC, RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC and platelets.
Chemical Pathology
Chemical pathology involves analysis of biochemical substances and markers in patient samples. The laboratory network provides routine and specialized chemistry investigations, with the exact availability depending on the test and branch.
Microbiology Services
Microbiology focuses on the laboratory examination of specimens for microorganisms. Depending on the investigation, services may include culture-based testing and other microbiological procedures.
Special Chemistry
Special chemistry includes more specialized laboratory investigations that require specific analytical methods. The documented accreditation scope includes several vitamin, tumor-marker, hormone and immunological investigations.
Histopathology
Histopathology involves laboratory examination of tissue specimens. These investigations are generally performed when tissue analysis is required as part of a medical or surgical evaluation.
PCR and Molecular Testing
PCR-based testing is included among the laboratory's published areas of specialization. Molecular testing uses laboratory techniques to detect specific genetic or molecular material and may be used for selected infectious-disease and other diagnostic investigations.
Quality Assurance
Health Ways Laboratories states that it places emphasis on accuracy, precision, reproducibility and speedy reporting. Its published information also describes quality-control procedures and trained laboratory personnel involved in diagnostic testing.
Sample Collection
Proper specimen collection is an important part of laboratory diagnostics. Samples are collected and handled according to the requirements of the requested investigation, with appropriate procedures intended to minimize contamination and preserve sample quality.
Laboratory Reports
After testing and analysis, laboratory findings are compiled into reports for patients and referring healthcare professionals. Reporting time depends on the type and complexity of the requested investigation.

Tests & Services Offered
Hematology Testing
Hematology investigations evaluate blood cells and related parameters. The documented laboratory scope includes ESR, WBC, RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC and platelet testing. These investigations can provide useful information for clinical evaluation and monitoring.
Complete Blood Count
A Complete Blood Count evaluates major blood-cell parameters including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin and platelets. It is one of the commonly requested investigations in clinical laboratory practice.
ESR Testing
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a hematology investigation included in the documented testing scope. It measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a blood sample and may be requested by healthcare professionals as part of a broader clinical evaluation.
Clinical Chemistry
Clinical chemistry testing measures biochemical substances in blood and other specimens. The laboratory's published scope includes routine chemistry and specialized chemical investigations.
Vitamin Testing
Special chemistry services may include vitamin-related investigations. The documented scope specifically includes 25-OH Vitamin D testing.
Hormone Testing
The documented special-chemistry scope includes several hormone investigations, including cortisol, estradiol, FSH, growth hormone, insulin, luteinizing hormone, progesterone, prolactin and PTH. Individual test availability should be confirmed with the branch.
Pregnancy and Fertility-Related Testing
The documented scope includes Beta-HCG, along with reproductive hormone investigations such as FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone and prolactin. These tests may be requested by healthcare professionals for specific clinical evaluations.
Tumor Marker Testing
Special chemistry investigations include markers such as AFP, CA 125, CEA and PSA in the documented accreditation scope. These tests are ordered for specific clinical purposes and should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional.
Ferritin Testing
Ferritin testing is included in the documented special-chemistry scope. Ferritin is a laboratory marker associated with the body's stored iron and may be requested as part of an evaluation of iron status.
Immunology Testing
The documented special-chemistry scope includes IgE testing. Additional immunological investigations may be available through the wider laboratory network depending on the current test menu.
Microbiology Testing
Microbiology services involve examination of suitable patient specimens for microorganisms. Depending on the requested investigation, microbiology may include culture and other laboratory procedures.
Histopathology Services
Histopathology involves examination of tissue samples using laboratory processing and microscopic evaluation. These investigations can support doctors in evaluating tissue abnormalities when a tissue specimen has been collected.
PCR Testing
PCR and molecular diagnostic testing are among the laboratory's published areas of service. PCR testing may be used for selected infectious diseases and other investigations requiring molecular detection techniques.
Urine and Other Specimen Testing
Clinical laboratories may process urine and other biological specimens according to the requirements of individual tests. Patients should follow the collection and preparation instructions provided for their specific investigation.
Sample Collection
Blood and other clinical specimens are collected according to the requirements of the requested test. Correct identification, collection and handling are important parts of laboratory quality processes.
Report Processing
After completion of the requested analysis, laboratory findings are compiled into reports. Routine tests may have different turnaround times from specialized, histopathology or molecular investigations.
Important Note
The documented accreditation scopes provide examples of investigations covered by Health Ways Laboratories, but the current Abbottabad branch test menu may differ. Patients should confirm the availability, price, preparation requirements and reporting time of a specific test before visiting.
