Pathology is invaluable to almost every medical specialty

Pathology is a medical specialty that focuses on determining the cause and nature of diseases. Pathology laboratories, examine and test body tissues (e.g. biopsies, pap smears) and fluids (e.g. blood, urine)  which help doctors diagnose and treat patients correctly.  Throughout childhood, adulthood and old age, pathology continues to help prevent, diagnose and treat infections, allergies, chronic diseases, cancer and countless other medical conditions. Without pathology, the high standard of Singaporean medicine would be impossible. Pathology services are an essential part of almost all aspects of a person’s healthcare.
