IDC Lab and Diagnostic Centre is part of the Islamabad Diagnostic Centre (IDC) network, a diagnostic healthcare provider offering laboratory and medical imaging services in Pakistan. Public listings for the Swat area identify an IDC laboratory at Faizabad Road, near Serena Hotel, Tauheed Chowk, Saidu Sharif, Swat. The available public information does not independently confirm a separate Kabal branch, so patients should verify the exact branch location before visiting.
IDC provides laboratory and diagnostic services designed to support doctors and patients with medical investigations. Laboratory testing can assist in the evaluation of symptoms, screening, diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and routine health assessment.
The IDC network provides a broad range of laboratory disciplines, including hematology, clinical pathology, chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, immunology and serology, histopathology, cytogenetics, virology, and specialized testing. IDC's published information describes these services as part of its wider diagnostic network.
Laboratory investigations examine blood, urine, tissue, and other clinical specimens to provide useful diagnostic information. Depending on the specific branch and test, samples may be processed locally or through IDC's wider laboratory network.
IDC states that it offers a broad diagnostic test menu and specialized investigations, including molecular and PCR-based testing.
IDC also operates as a diagnostic centre with laboratory and imaging capabilities. Across its network, imaging services include modalities such as X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT, mammography, fluoroscopy, echocardiography, and other diagnostic procedures, although availability can vary by branch.
IDC's published information describes participation in quality-assurance and accreditation programs, including ISO-related certification, College of American Pathologists (CAP), UK EQAS, RIQAS, NEQAP, and Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority requirements where applicable.
Diagnostic services are intended to make laboratory and imaging investigations more accessible to patients and healthcare professionals. Patients can obtain investigations according to their doctor's prescription or healthcare needs and use the resulting reports for clinical consultation.
The publicly available Swat listing identifies IDC Lab at Faizabad Road, near Serena Hotel, Tauheed Chowk, Saidu Sharif, Swat. The listing provides the IDC contact number 0311-1000432.
Because a separate Kabal branch could not be independently confirmed from the sources checked, the exact Kabal location, branch-specific services, timings, and fees should be confirmed with IDC before publishing them as branch-specific information.
IDC provides a broad range of medical laboratory investigations through its diagnostic network. The published IDC laboratory information covers multiple disciplines, including hematology, clinical pathology, chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, immunology and serology, histopathology, cytogenetics, virology, and parasitology.
Hematology investigations evaluate blood cells and related parameters. Common laboratory investigations can include Complete Blood Count (CBC), hemoglobin, red blood cell indices, white blood cell counts, platelet parameters, and other hematological investigations.
Clinical chemistry testing evaluates biochemical substances in blood and other specimens. Common categories include blood glucose, liver-related investigations, kidney function testing, lipid profile, electrolytes, and other biochemical parameters.
Immunology and serology investigations are used to evaluate antibodies, antigens, immune responses, and markers associated with various diseases. The IDC network provides a broad range of immunological and serological investigations.
Microbiology testing helps investigate microorganisms that may cause infections. Depending on the investigation, microbiology services can include examination and culture of clinical specimens, organism identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
Molecular diagnostic services can be used for the detection of genetic material associated with infectious diseases and other conditions. IDC's published information specifically describes Real-Time PCR testing, including testing for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and tuberculosis-related applications.
Histopathology examines tissue specimens under laboratory conditions to assist in the diagnosis of disease. Cytological investigations examine individual cells or cellular material and may be used in different diagnostic situations.
Hormonal and endocrine investigations can assist in the assessment of thyroid function, reproductive health, fertility, metabolic conditions, and other endocrine disorders. Specific hormone tests may include thyroid and reproductive hormone investigations depending on the doctor's prescription and branch availability.
Clinical pathology services can include routine urine examination and other specimen-based investigations. These tests may assist in evaluating urinary, metabolic, infectious, and other health conditions.
IDC states that it provides specialized and rare investigations through its wider diagnostic network and international collaborations. Some specialized tests may be processed through reference laboratories rather than at an individual collection branch.
IDC's wider diagnostic network also provides imaging investigations. Depending on the individual branch, services may include digital X-ray, ultrasound, Color Doppler, CT scan, MRI, mammography, ECG, echocardiography, and other diagnostic procedures. Branch-level availability must be confirmed before visiting.
IDC offers home sample collection through its network. Patients should confirm whether home sampling is currently available in the specific Kabal or Swat service area and whether additional conditions apply.
Diagnostic reports allow patients and doctors to review laboratory and imaging findings. Reports should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional in combination with the patient's clinical history and other relevant examinations.
IDC has a wide diagnostic network, but not every test or imaging service is necessarily available at every branch. The exact services, fees, sample requirements, reporting time, home collection availability, and operating hours for the Kabal/Swat location should be confirmed directly with IDC before visiting.
