Behind every diagnosis is a lab result, so KMC’s Laboratory Department never sleeps. Our 24/7 lab team operates advanced automated analyzers and strict quality controls. “Timeliness and accuracy are our promise” says our Head Lab Physician.

  • Full Range of Testing: We handle routine blood counts, chemistry panels (sugar, kidney function, etc.), immunology, hormones, and more. Special tests like viral serologies (Hepatitis markers), vitamin levels, and genetic screening are done with precision, often in collaboration with AUBMC’s reference labs. For example, our partnership with AUB’s molecular lab means we can detect difficult infections and early cancer markers without delay.

  • Pathology Expertise: Other pathology samples are sent to our AUB affiliate, ensuring specialized cases are reviewed by top experts.

  • Convenience & Care: We offer home phlebotomy services if you can’t come in, and same-day appointments in our lab if you need routine blood work. Our staff are trained in pediatric and geriatric techniques – they know how to gently draw blood from a squirming child or an elderly patient with brittle veins.

Patient Story: Noura from Ghazir says: “I needed urgent lab tests before a procedure. The KMC lab did my urgent profile in just an hour, not days. The phlebotomist even let me play as a cartoon character to distract me!”

Common Questions: “Are your results reliable?” We participate in international quality programs, and our error rate is very low. You can trust that a “normal” reading is truly normal. “How do I get my results?” You can view them through a secure patient portal. For inpatients, results are automatically sent to your doctor’s team.

KMC Laboratory Advantage: The biggest advantage is speed combined with trust. If you see a result marked “critical,” know that our doctor on call will phone your physician right away with any urgent findings. In essence, KMC’s lab is the hidden engine that keeps your care running smoothly – precise, fast, and dedicated.
