Laboratory Support for Inpatient and Outpatient Care

Laboratory examinations support doctors and healthcare teams throughout different stages of patient care, from an initial outpatient consultation to emergency assessment, hospital admission, surgery, and follow-up treatment.

At New Padre Garcia Hospital, the Clinical Laboratory coordinates accepted test requests for medically stable outpatients and admitted patients based on physician instructions and clinical needs.

Outpatients may visit the laboratory for scheduled or requested testing, while inpatient specimens may be coordinated with doctors, nurses, and other hospital departments.

Testing availability, priority, processing time, and result release depend on the examination, patient condition, and laboratory operations.
