Korle Bu New Lab begins operations in April 2

The new laboratory suite equipped with Mindray SAL 6000 analyser, is set to begin operation in April 2 this year. The state-of-the-art lab will attend to over 400 laboratory investigations at a time and produce their reports within an hour. The machine has been installed in partnership with Mindray, Shenzeng, the manufacturers of the analyser.
