Shifa Labs Peshawar (LRH)

Shifa Labs Peshawar (LRH) is a medical laboratory and diagnostic sample collection center located opposite the Emergency Gate of Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) in Peshawar. The facility is situated on Hakeem Ullah Jan Road in the Pipal Mandi area, providing convenient access to laboratory testing for patients visiting Lady Reading Hospital and residents of surrounding areas.

The LRH center is part of the Shifa Clinical Laboratories network serving patients in Peshawar. Shifa Clinical Laboratories describes itself as a modern diagnostic laboratory providing laboratory testing, consultant-reviewed reports, digital reporting and home sample collection services. Its main center is located in Hayatabad, while its collection network includes multiple locations across Peshawar.

The location of the LRH collection center makes it particularly convenient for patients who are already visiting Lady Reading Hospital for outpatient consultations, emergency services, specialist appointments or follow-up care. Patients can provide samples at the collection center for physician-recommended laboratory investigations, while testing and reporting can be handled through the laboratory's diagnostic network according to the nature of the investigation.

Shifa Clinical Laboratories offers a broad range of diagnostic testing services. Its published test menu includes categories covering routine laboratory investigations, hematology, clinical chemistry, endocrine and hormonal testing, infectious disease testing, vitamins and nutritional assessment, therapeutic drug monitoring and other specialized investigations.

Routine laboratory testing can help physicians evaluate a patient's general health, investigate symptoms, monitor chronic diseases and assess treatment response. Common investigations may include blood counts, blood glucose, HbA1c, liver and kidney function tests, lipid testing, thyroid investigations, vitamin levels, urine testing and infection-related investigations. The exact test availability and sample requirements should be confirmed with the center before visiting.

Shifa Clinical Laboratories also provides home sample collection in Hayatabad and central Peshawar. According to its official website, trained phlebotomists collect samples using sterile, single-use kits, after which samples are transferred to the laboratory for processing and reports are delivered digitally.

The LRH location is also positioned within an important healthcare area of Peshawar. Lady Reading Hospital is a major tertiary-care hospital with emergency, outpatient, inpatient, surgical and diagnostic services. Its own Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Department provides comprehensive clinical laboratory and pathology services, including hematology, coagulation, immunology, microbiology, cytology, surgical pathology and molecular pathology.

For patients using Shifa Labs rather than the hospital's own laboratory, the LRH collection point provides an additional convenient option for obtaining laboratory investigations. Patients should make sure they specify that they want testing through Shifa Labs when submitting a prescription or requesting a particular investigation.

The branch is currently listed as operating during daytime and evening hours, with the business listing showing Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday until 5:00 PM, and Sunday not listed as an operating day. Patients should confirm current timings before visiting, particularly on public holidays.
