The Biochemistry department is involved in Undergraduate teaching for Medical students. It also provides post graduate training in MD Biochemistry. The Department of Biochemistry is run by a group of experienced and talented doctors and faculty who provide diagnostic laboratory services to outpatients and inpatients. The laboratory is intended to serve as a referral laboratory for physicians of this hospital as well as for those practicing in the surrounding areas. Routine Biochemistry and specialized tests like hormones, tumor markers, vitamins and therapeutic drug monitoring is carried out on a daily basis.
The laboratory is committed to maintaining highest quality of performance using the latest technology and equipment that enables us to provide rapid and reliable results for the patient in the shortest turnaround time. Faculty and post graduate students are encouraged to do research and publish scientific papers.
The Biochemistry department, along with the other lab departments are interconnected to the hospital by a Laboratory Information System (LIS) for speedier and accurate generation of reports. Samples are bar coded and fed into the equipment, which automatically performs the tests indicated by the bar code. The test results obtained are immediately transferred online to the doctor’s desk after verifying the entries by a qualified consultant or a senior technician who have undergone training as internal auditors from NABL. We train students to be familiar with the principles and procedures of needed for working in a conventional & specialized medical laboratory
