Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to fast before a blood test? It depends on the type of test. Fasting blood glucose, lipid profiles, and some biochemistry tests require fasting for 8–12 hours. CBC and many other tests do not require fasting. The doctor or laboratory staff will guide you specifically when you receive the test order.
Can test results be sent to my phone? Currently, results are printed and handed over directly at the Center or attached to your medical record. You can contact the hotline at 028.3868.1097 to ask about alternative ways of receiving results in specific cases.
Can I request a test without seeing a doctor first? Yes. The Center accepts on-demand service tests without a doctor’s order. However, it is recommended to consult a doctor to select the appropriate group of tests for your health monitoring needs.
