Meet our Laboratory
The Clinical Laboratory is an essential tool for the medical area, since through it different pathologies are diagnosed and studies are performed to establish the type of treatment to be administered to the patient, as well as the follow-up of the same.
The laboratory is a technically young department in our clinic, but that does not mean that the staff working in it is not sufficiently prepared to provide the service you need.
