Our work
From the day we are born we all rely on pathology to detect, diagnose and treat infection, allergies, chronic diseases, cancers and countless other medical conditions.
Across Aotearoa, 70% of all medical decisions and 100% of cancer diagnosis rely on pathology and laboratory testing. So, it’s vital we provide the highest quality accurate medical expertise every day, for every person, from every one of our laboratories around the motu.
From the phlebotomist you meet in our centres, to the technicians, scientists and pathologists who process and report your health information; we treat every collection, sample, and test like it could be our mum, grandparent, friend or workmate.
And we recognise the special duty of care when it comes to the health of our beloved family pet or the farm animals we depend on for our livelihood.
