Supporting Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnostic testing plays an important role throughout many areas of healthcare.
Doctors may request laboratory investigations when assessing symptoms, confirming or supporting a diagnosis, monitoring an existing medical condition or evaluating a patient’s response to treatment.
Laboratory results provide healthcare professionals with additional clinical information that can be considered alongside a patient’s medical history, symptoms, examination and other investigations.
At Eden Gardens Private Hospital, access to onsite laboratory providers supports the hospital’s broader approach to coordinated patient care.
